There are many emotional illnesses or problems that people face; some of these include: depression, anxiety, ME, chronic fatigue syndrome, postnatal depression, schizophrenia, insomnia, pre menstrual syndrome, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
Experiencing these problems or illnesses can affect how a person feels about eating. Feeling anxious or depressed can result in a loss of appetite or lack of interest in food.
Although there are certain foods that have been linked with improving mood, making sure that our diet is balanced and that we are eating regularly can have a positive impact on our mental health.
