ABSTRACT

Recently, most of evidence shows that caloric restriction could induce antidepressant-like effects in animal model of depression. Based on studies of the brain�gut axis, some signal pathways were common between the control of caloric restriction and depression. However, the specific mechanism of the antidepressant-like effects induced by caloric restriction remains unclear. Therefore, in this article, we summarized clinical and experimental studies of caloric restriction on depression. This review may provide a new therapeutic strategy for depression.

All I know is from my personal experience, having to go on no fat diet due to pain caused by it, also I've cut out processed sugar and carbs.  My depression doesn't feel  as though its been positively impacted the slightest by eating probably 1/2 the calories I did a month ago,  symptoms have stayed the same for what its worth. However I naturally eat far less when depressed, where as others increase there caloric intake, so maybe genetics i.e. metabolism this has something to do with the potential of low caloric restriction on depression?..
