Food and mood
- There is an overlap between neural circuits governing eating and mood. Also, digestive hormones exert effects on dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a large role in mood, energy, and pleasure.
- Individuals with depression and bipolar disorder have abnormal dopamine levels. Altered eating rhythms are thought to contribute to the poor maintenance of mood.
- Irregular eating may even play a role in the complex underlying causes of mood disorders. Despite this evidence, assessing eating rhythms is not currently part of standard clinical care in most psychiatric settings.
