Has anyone heard about a relationship between carbs and seratonin? I have no idea if its true, but I've heard that eating complex carbs at each meal helps to keep emotions more stable. Simple carbs (sugar, etc.) spike seratonin up, then dramatically down which messes with your depression. The recommendation was to add whole grains to each meal - brown rice, oatmeal, bulghar, etc.
Is any of this true?
Lillian - You might try seeing a nutritionist. Its helpful to keep a food/exercise journal for a few weeks before your appt.
