Do you think that science hasn't already looked at exercise and diet scientifically as treatments or adjunct therapeutics for depression?

But I'm not ignorant of the fact that on mental health treatment forums like this, the typical thinking is "If only we could find the right pill". There is very little talk about how our diet affects our brain function and therefore our mental health. Even when there is so much garbage is in the diet of most people.
Scott, I'm aware that scientific knowledge about the brain is continuously advancing. But how long will it take for today's leading knowledge to be put into regular clinical use? Today we are still focusing on artificial ways to increase certain neurotransmitters, just like we're when the first MAOI came out. The main advantage reuptake inhibitors have is they lack the possibility of death if one were to eat the wrong food while taking them. Many even agree old MAOI's help better than newer reuptake inhibitors.
Now, if it is easier for you to sit and wait for the best science to eventually be put into good use and for it to benefit you, that it is too difficult for you to think out of box that psychiatry stays in and put more focus on other areas of your life that can be improved, that may just lead to your mental health improving, then I really am sorry.
If one keeps doing what they've always done, they will always what they've always gotten. Think beyond meds. Sit back and look at what can be improved about your lifestyle. Rarely is achieving the best things in life easy to achieve, but it sure is worth it. Just do your best. Often doing your best is far removed from ones daily life. And help others do their best. Knowledge is power. Gaining knowledge can give you the power to achieve your best. Michael Jordan did his best when he was a less experienced, less knowledgeable player. But as he gained knowledge of the game, his best became even better.
