There may be a connection to food eaten while growing up and certain mental health conditions such as depression. I wonder if eating what you want as a kid is more beneficial than being told to eat things you're just indifferent towards. A retroactive study could confirm this by asking people their childhood eating habits and measuring their subjective mental health scores later in life. If the brain is wiring itself at a young age and is getting what it wants to eat then the brain will settle into a specific pattern of wiring based on that food it got during development.
Thank you for all you do in combating this dreadful disease.
