Yes of course. But get therapy and good sleep first. Start exercising and find a local church group to connect with. You are not alone and many people are struggling with depression. I encourage you to get help.

The straightforward answer is, yes. Now the long answer... The Nutrient chemicals therewithin our foods create the internal environment within our bodies that repair our cellular structures; providing our daily functional capabilities. If these nutrient chemicals are not there in the correct amounts this puts the body under a form of stress that is brought about by the nutrient deficiency.
Importantly here = All Stress alters blood flow through our brain away from the frontal lobe; the frontal lobe provides understanding & our behavioral control. This is a survival mechanism.... so blood flow is directed towards the occipital lobe for your vision; so you can see well while running for your life.
This nutrient deficiency stress is added to the other stresses that your body is already under = the Emotional & Physical.
ALL this stress creates more nutrient bodily needs which are NOT available. Creating more nutrient deficiency stress added to other stresses. Going forth redirecting blood moreso & therefore the large amounts of nutrients in the blood away from the frontal lobe which is providing understanding & our behavioral control. Literally a horrible cycle.
So simply put, Stress creates the need for more nutrient chemicals from wholesome foods... If these nutrients are not available more stress is created altering blood flow removing important nutrients away from important areas of the brain creating a loss of some function = Emotional understanding, Behavioral control, and therefore your reactions now to the stimuli in front of you.
Please forgive the long answer, but, I do believe education is the key to unlocking good health. Check into the Ortho Molecular approach & get a juicer.

Possibly. It just depends on other support you are bringing in - counseling, being connected to community, gut healing, addressing nutrient deficiencies, homeopathy, major lifestyle shifts, addressing underlying trauma and addictions... there are possibilities, AND I do not recommend doing it alone. Create your care team - counselor, naturopathic doc, physical trainer, etc.
