When I was 15yo I was diagnosed with a mental illness and placed in a mental asylum. 45 years later I discovered I had a biological illness, not a mental one. For the past 7 years I have stuck to a strict diet high in nutrition and have not relapsed. I now live a life free from prescribed drugs, physiologists and mental homes.

She was exercising regularly and eating well. She had therapy but was never given medication. I can remember what she was like before she was diagnosed, I saw her have lots of panic attacks and how she would obsess and worry about things, talking to me about the same things constantly. And she’s kept up that diet and exercise since, and has been SO much better since I can’t even tell you.

But also lifestyle changes that we would suggest in Psychotherapie. So in my opinion you need both.

I turned vegan in March of this year and after a few weeks my four year life-threatening depression lifted and since then I have just got better and better. I take just a third of the meds I used to, and am pretty certain I will be able to dispense with them altogether sometime early in the new year. My psych can't believe how much better I am, but although she agrees that diet plays a part, she simply refuses to believe just how different I feel. She still tells me I should be on medication for the rest of my life. I've had bipolar 1 probably most of my life, but it got a good deal worse when I was diagnosed in 2008 and was started on medication. Over the years the amount of medication I took became scary and I scaled it back with my psych's agreement, preferring to suffer the mood swings than the side effects of the medication. I've had two episodes of psychosis since being on psych meds - and taking large quantities of anti-psychs at the time. So it was clear they weren't working. Whether my psych agrees or not, I fully intend to come off my medication altogether some time in the near future. I take so little now in comparison to what I was taking and to be honest, I forget to take them pretty often and if I was going to get depressed or go manic, it would certainly have happened by now. I added some meat/fish back into my diet for a few days in May just to see what effect it had - it was awful, I started plunging back into depression after just a couple of days and that was enough to tell me that I was right to avoid all animal products. I would never go back to eating anything with a face. If only I could convince my friends to do the same - and all this despite them being amazed at how well I am now. Keep eating a plant-based diet and avoid anything processed and you will continue to improve.

Yes, processed foods cause depression. So, you have to choose if you want to be well or not? Remember, there is a lot of advertising from food and drinks companies that are designed to keep you unwell.

I don't have a mental disorder-as fas I know-but I do notice that consuming mainly unprocessed foods on a daily basis boosts my mood dramatically, whereas junk food makes me feel mentally foggy, unmotivated and sluggish. Personally, I don't believe in quick, easy fixes regarding health. I think that eating a whole food, plant based diet might be the solution for a myriad of problems we're facing: illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity, climate change and the unethical treatment of factory farmed animals. And who knows, maybe even mental illness. It's worth a shot!

So I look for a small portion of protein and healthier fats with each meal. Sometimes I can skip meals and I do enjoy vegetarian dishes so much!! But I avoid soya, because it GMO and so NOT good for you in North America anyways. How do people eat just raw food diet? Is it just vegtables all day? I eat about 5-10 cups of green leafy vegtables a day, and I make pizza crust from cauliflower or will have "pasta" for dinner...

I'm no dietitian, but the evidence seems to suggest that raw vegan diets are not nutritionally complete, whilst normal vegan diets can be. I think it's very important to include all food groups from the plant kingdom, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, but also whole grains. If you do skip grains, it's possible that you aren't meeting your caloric requirements, even if you're not fully vegan. Vegetables are very low in calories after all, and if you eat them raw, even less is absorbed (remember how humans started cooking to improve caloric and nutrient absoption?). I don't know about soy, in my country they only sell organic and non-gmo. I think it's perfectly healthy as long as it's not very processed and your body feels well and you enjoy it. May I ask what your reasons are to avoid healthy starch and (naturally ocurring) sugar?

Every diet can be disastrous for one's health if not practiced carefully. You should do a little bit of research if you wish to eat a vegan diet. According to today's science, there is no nutrient the human body needs to acquire exogenously (meaning it doens't synthesize it itself) that can't be obtained from plants, except B12, which needs to be supplemented by all vegans without exception. But if you feel better eating animal products, then good for you. I have nothing to add to that. That is your choice. But please don't irrationally put down veganism because you failed to gather enough information.

@youandmevegan

6 жыл бұрын

"Natural" is not the goal. Advising against B12 supplements is very irresponsible and could cause someone's nerve damage or death. You can either eat dirt, feaces or animals (thus risking infection and disease) and get your B12 "naturally", take supplements or get nerve damage. Modern hygiene is what prevents us from getting B12 naturally, that's all. BTW there weren't computers 5000 years ago, so what? I don't find it difficult at all to eat a vegan diet, and I see no need to eat exclusively whole foods. If that's what you want to do, perfect. But some processed foods here and there might keep some vegans sane and help them continue to eat in an ethical way. I understand that veganism might seem extreme or like a cult to some people, but for me it's just an easy and healthy way of living according to my compassion.

I stay away from sugar, white processed products like white bread, soda and junk food in general. Fruits and vegetables and exercise. No alcohol, no tobacco. I can say without a doubt that food is medicine not just for the body but for the mind as well. We eat about 100 times as much sugar as we did 100 years ago. At age 8 I was diagnosed with ADHD and was in the autistic spectrum. Learning disorders, etc... By age 14, after a suicide attempt, I was diagnosed with depression. I was depressed until age 33. Then my diet changed. I worked with a nutritionist and my whole world changed. Eating better made all the difference. I am 60 now, work in IT and in the best mental and physical health of my life. Zero prescriptions.

She's right. I've never seen this talk, but know that nutrition worked to solve my mental health issues, along with sleep, faith practices, moderate exercise, and boundaries. I simply avoid toxic people and situations. I practice radical self-care, but my food and supplements play a huge role in that, so I prioritize the purest of both, eating an organic, plant-based diet. It's been a game changer.

I think it's important to note that ADHD and Autism are types of neurodiversity. There are other things that influence the rise of diagnoses, including awareness from health professionals, teachers and parents and access to information. Increased awareness of how ASD and ADHD present in women has also increased. It might not account entirely for the increase, but still a really important consideration to have. Not to dispute the argument and evidence here, just some points to add for context 😊

I whole heartedly agree; that point in the talk frustrated me enormously as a woman with adhd. Also, 92 days ago (yes, I keep count because I’m really proud of my progress), I consulted with my doctor and rigorously changed my diet to guidelines similar to the ones described by this speaker (Mind you, I did not stop taking my medication but my medication hasn’t changed in years, the only significant change I made was in my diet). And while I still experience ADHD symptoms, they are less impactful and (what I did not expect) my overal mental health got significantly better: I’m much less anxious and stressed, I sleep much better and have much better impulse control. So, for me personally, speaking at this moment and after a little less than 100 days of a radically different diet, it appears that diet brought me significant mental health improvements. It is also a very costly diet in money and time. I am extremely lucky to be able to make these changes and for me the benefits outweigh the price, but I do not see this change being affordable (in both the money and the time it costs) for most people. So my thoughts about this video are very mixed. Some of the dietary changes discussed have greatly benefited my mental health, but the way she portrays rising number of diagnoses without important context really rubs me the wrong way. Regardless, I hope people who are interested in exploring what a different diet can do for their mental health are able to give it a chance in consultation with their doctor.

I have been on a whole food plant based diet since 1986. When I backslide and eat a cookie or two, I can feel the difference almost instantly in my brain. Thinking is slower and my ability to concentrate is markedly reduced and I don't feel sharp. Not to mention the sluggishness I feel physically. Why don't people believe that something you put into you body three/four times a day isn't going to affect your body and mind.

I came across this video while researching the Human Microbiome. It seems the reason diet is effective in regulating mental health is because it produces a better environment for our intestinal microbes to thrive and work efficiently, and they are essential in every biological function. If this video interests you, I would suggest watching a few TED Talks on the Human Microbiome as well. Lots of fantastic and fascinating information. Keep up the great work! I loved reading some of the other comments by those of you who were successful in changing your mental health simply by making some of these dietary changes. Very exciting! The way we look at medicine and other treatments is changing, and imo that is a very good thing!

There's a lot of questionable things that have occurred within the last 50 years that make it hard to gauge if mental health has really declined as a whole. Today, its more socially acceptable to be depressed and everyone has a platform to vent on with social media. The U.S. suicide rate peaked around 1985. I believe the "gang lifestyle" peaked in the 80s-90s. The incarceration rate has been impacted major factors such as the war on drugs, three strike laws, and other legislation.

I completely changed my life with nutrition. I was on prescriptions for anxiety and depression, I was overweight and tired all the time. I was suicidal. Diet, exercise and a mindful, contemplative lifestyle have changed me, over the last eight years, into a healthy and happy person. I eat a ton of vegetables, all colors, raw and cooked. Fruits, whole grains, legumes… I can feel the energy from these foods. No medication made me feel as good as eating well has. (There is a place for medication to help break dangerous cycles of depression and anxiety but they’re not a long term solution) I encourage everyone to eat well, it doesn’t take long until you crave the goodness and recognize how poisonous the standard American diet can be.

A little exercise goes a long way as well.

SSRI anti-depressants are a known trigger for manic episodes of bipolar disorder in people that already have the underlying illness, I think this is an important consideration alongside the stat regarding anti-depressants increasing cases of bipolar disorder x3. It’s often mis-diagnosed as depression initially in younger people to begin with, which when paired with SSRI’s as is often the case, can just bring about episodes earlier than they might have otherwise.

When our child suffered depression a few years ago. He was not eating fruits and vegetables. His diet was highly processed. Despite our home prepared meals offering lots of fruits and vegetables, he would not eat them and would leave them on the plate. As a last resort I bought vitamins and probiotics for him. After a month or two of taking the store bought supplements, his depression improved. Now he is eating fruits and vegetables as part of is daily diet. He also takes vitamins once or twice a week, particularly when he has been eating a diet high in processed foods like a lot of teenagers will do. I’m so glad we did not have to resort to prescription drugs to treat his depression. At the time his treating psychologist, we felt, was blaming us for his depression.

I suffer from depression since 2006 and am on medication since 2013. Just like she said, the meds and therapy helped me a lot in the beginning, but as time went by, I lost all creativity, libido, and focus because of them. I decided to taper off on my own (after walking the Camino de Santiago) as my doc and therapist couldn’t instruct me (most of them don’t know how to do properly and believe we should take it for the rest of our lives). Fast forward to me being from 225mg of venlafaxine down on my own to 9mg per day. Of course I went back to eat fish, sea food and chicken (was vegetarian for 11 years) plus added weight lifting to my exercise routine. 2021 was a fantastic year although I was always feeling very tired. Extreme fatigue and a relapse in depression with mild episodes of panic attacks made me finally quit all processed food (no dairy, no gluten, no sugar, no alcohol) and I have been on the paleo diet for almost 2 months now. I feel like I am 20 again. FULL OF ENERGY, motivation, creativity and focus. PS: I had found out I was dealing with leaky gut and this affects serotonin levels immensely. I advise anyone dealing with anxiety and depression to search for a naturopath and ask for a stool exam to find out the quality/ status of your gut system. It is all connected!!!

MARJAN I don't enjoy the taste of most fruits and vegetables. Truthfully, there are a lot of things to consider when speaking of diets. What to eat, how often one should eat, and the portion size will greatly vary. There's also an adaptation the body needs to go through. When I say adaptation, think about substances like caffeine. If you give somebody who never has had caffeine an energy drink or two, they'll be full of energy and have increased risk of heart troubles. Yet somebody who consumes caffeine regularly builds a tolerance to it. Same with alcohol, it takes way less alcohol to get a person drunk if they've never drank compared to if they're an alcoholic. Genetics, what you grow up eating, and your lifestyle habits will all change what is healthy or unhealthy. Oh, and I tried I diets that focused on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and lean meats. I also asked from my soda and energy drink only consumption to drinking nothing but water. I ate exactly how I was told by doctors and dietitians. My liver enzymes increased, I gained 20lbs, developed eczema, had acne problems (something never had even in my teen years), and other medical issues. For some reason my body needs or has adapted to a meat and sugar based diet. I also know my grandfather had diabetes but still ate and drank things he wasn't supposed to. He didn't take medication given to him either. After over ten years, doctors are saying he's no longer diabetic. Ironically he doesn't exercise, is overweight, etc. So are weird things going on with what we're preaching as healthy. Lastly, big cause of cancer and other illnesses are additives in things. If you ever look back, it's when we started adding vitamins and/or soy to just about everything we eat that we started seeing major issues. Milk, cereal, bread, water, and many more things have so many additives and changes done to them that it isn't funny.

I think it's more complex than just "serotonin deficiency". The complexity of difficulties our body experiences, because of unhealthy diet, vaccines, etc - involves thousands of different chemical processes, not just one concerning serotonin to the brain. But sure, that's one of those processes.

Very informative and well done. I am a physician, and have been offering this as an option for my patients for the past 14 years. The results have varied from outstanding for the majority , to on the rare occasion, no improvement. One needs to keep an open mind. No doubt , our understanding of the importance of optimal nutrition in our daily health is very poor. It is long overdue for more research to be done in this very important subject. You can be certain that if this could be patented, Big Pharma would invest billions in this . Keep up the good work , Julia, and thank you for doing this TEDx presentation.

So so so true! Did you know that nutrition deficiencies can cause anxiety? For example, low vitamin D. You may not get enough from the sun, so you can go on a sunny vacation, buy a sun lamp, or supplement in the winter with 2000 IU/day! If you choose to supplement, just make sure you check with your dietitian/healthcare provider to make sure it's safe for you!

I feel the difference when I cut out certain foods all together. I feel much more confident and capable when I eat well.

13years ago I was wrongly diagnosed with ADHD & bipolar disorder when it was my insulin and hormones that made me swing in to deep depression and anger. The only difference was that I was never suicidal and never really maniac, I was speeded by sugars, alcohol and coffee.. just my teenage insecurities wondering if I was normal.. only one time, ONE DAY, for 1HOUR.. in my life I was suicidal.. and it was a side effect of my meds. My medication made me worse. The side effects was like getting bipolar.. I wasn't allowed to be happy bc that could be maniac.. My doctors refused to admit that they did wrong. But luckily I know my self very well! As soon as I my self took it in my own hand and changed my lifestyle and food choices I got well again! I ate junk food and didn't sleep my hours BC I got to bed too late. I started to eat real food and took better care of my sleep. Avoiding all sugars and everything that could speed me up. Suddenly I could read and concentrate. I felt harmony. I'm 10years off meds now. The only times I fell back was when I was cheated with my food..

You are spot on, Betty! According to DSM4(Thats the rule book for diagnosing mental health) Doctors are SUPPOSED to rule out metabolic disorders and malnutrition BEFORE considering ANY diagnosis. OK, perhaps an overt suicide attempt might make you skip, but they should ALWAYS be checking it and they dont.

It's not just mental health. Everything we eat has a profound effect on our overall health.

Thank you, Dr. Rucklidge! I am a counselor in training, and I definitely see how food affects mental health. There is not enough recognition of this fact. I'm so glad that you studied this in depth and that this is being acknowledged by some people in our profession.

I echo that observation from my experience teaching hs math in an inner city school! The difference between the remedial algebra classes and the Pre-Calc classes was night and day, not just cognitively but behaviorally as well. I attribute a significant amount of this to nutrition and lack of proper nutrition in children's homes. I quit teaching and completed a post bacc pre med program - now deciding whether to pursue medicine or psychology or nutrition or a blend of some of these as they all fascinate me. What do you do in the mental health field and do you have any suggestions for someone considering the field and wanting to make a difference for others?

This is an extremely important evidence based talk on a topic that is moving the field of mental health forward. As a clinical psychologist and board certified nutrition specialist, I see daily the positive impact that nutrition can have on mental health for children and adults. More than medication and talk therapy is needed to reduce symptoms for many people with these challenges, and nutrition is an accessible research-based option. I often recommend this video to patients and their families.

I agree 100%. Well said. Great information Julia. I pray that doctors will listen to your information too.

Brilliant! As a professional researcher may I offer you many congratulations on an excellent presentation.

Passionately delivered and thoughtful presentation by Dr. Rucklidge. I have read the original manuscripts of many of the studies she referenced. This is significant research that needs to be expanded, with implications for public health for children and adults. It's an area not yet fully understood, but should not be dismissed by those for whom it is outside the paradigm of conventional current medical prescribing. I am curious why TED chose to "flag" this presentation... odd.

Actually psychiatric drugs are cheap compared to high class supplements/micro nutrients. Many many people with mental health issues are never hospitalized. Hospitalization is what costs. Actually this article points to the fact that the modern 21st century diet is noxious. Micro nutrients don't exist in the soil any longer the land has been stripped of these. We need to change the way we not only eat but how we farm.

My husband and I both focused heavily on proper nutrition in order to battle serious depression, anxiety, and psychotic symptoms of protracted medication withdrawal after 10 years of psychiatric medications making things worse for us, with constant hospitalizations compounding our PTSD. We have been living very well off medications and have completely avoided the hospital for 7 years now because of nutrition and community. There is more conclusive evidence about the negative effects of nutritional deficiencies than there is about the overall benefit of psychiatric medications. It is proven that long-term use of psych meds contributes to serious physical health problems and in turn contributes to the 15 to 30 year mortality gap between people diagnosed with mental illness and the general population. It seems to be common sense that good food equals good health; and those who live in poverty/food deserts, thus having to stretch their meals and make do with less nutrition, are more often diagnosed with mental health conditions. It also seems to be common sense that high sugar intake (Western diet) can greatly decrease the ability to focus and increase other symptoms of mental illness. I admire Rucklidge's solid scientific work, and I hope TEDx comes to its senses.
