Women who took the contraceptive pill are twice as to be depressed than those who do not eat it. Depression due to the contraceptive pill is thought to be linked to the pathway of serotonin in the brain. This is based on research conducted by Monash University Australia in 2005.

Donuts
According to Helen Bond of the British Dietetic Association, the human mood is determined by the energy supply of blood glucose to the brain. This can increase the dopamine levels so can improve mood. However, this cannot be done by foods that made from wheat such as donuts. "A neurotransmitter that called phenylethylamine will appear when you eat wheat, so it raises feelings of anxiety," says Helen.
