11 Depression Causing Foods To Stay Away From

8. Alcohol

A lot of people drink alcohol to forget their problems, and it can work temporarily. Sadly, many more problems are created by unthinking behavior while people are inebriated, and those are all still there in the morning.

Alcohol is a depressant that suppresses the function of your central nervous system, which plays a role in how we process emotions. So you are very likely to feel more depressed the day after drinking, which feeds into a vicious cycle of feeling lower and lower each day, and drinking more and more each night, or you may fall into the trap of needing alcohol all day long to “feel normal.”

Try to stop drinking all together to raise your bottom line level of depression, and choose more effective treatments going forward.
