Went off work Sept 2011 when diagnosed for the first time w/ Major Depression and Anxiety. Family Doc and Psychiatrist (had requested to see the latter as I was felt Psychiatrist was better trained to ...

I was wondering about a connection between fat and stress and if there is a known relationship between them. From personal experience I know that I have more problems when stressed and that I respond well to a low fat diet.
