Hello, Hope. I think if you try to stick to whole foods and protein, you will probably be doing the best you can diet-wise. Fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, cheese are all good for you - get organic if you can with the fruits and vegetables. It's no guarantee that this will help your depression, but it's certainly good for your body!
