Hullo... I was wondering if anyone had any dietary advice which might help with mental health issues? I suffer from depression and anxiety and my partner is schizophrenic - we're both vegan and share all our meals. I've found that "conventionally" grown food (i.e. pesticides) affect me quite badly and the more organically I eat the better I feel. At first I thought I might have some kind of wheat/gluten intolerance but homemade organic bread seems to be ok - it could also be related to preservatives etc.
Err I'm drifting off... so:
1) Are there any specific foods which help mental illness?
2) Are there any specific foods whcih exacerbate mental illness?
3) Is it possible I'm deficient in something/intolerant to something which is making my illness worse?
Sorry this is so rambly, I can't seem to make sense. Help please? I think I feel best when the food I eat is organic and raw, but the only thing I can do well is bake and make puddings so any easy +simple raw recipe ideas would be much appreciated. Preferably in season with UK veg... am I asking too much? >.< I'll shut up now.
