I have seen much anecdotal evidence on other forums that low carb can help depression. I beleive it is the grains, particularly gluten, that can affect the serotonins in the body & brain. Also, the brain needs FATS to function, not carbs, so by cutting carbs and increasing fat you are giving it the right fuel.

Since I gave up gluten in 2005 I am much happier and more positive, and since giving up all grains mid last year I have improved even more. Knock them out of your diet for 2-4 weeks while you are low carbing and see how you feel. You can reintroduce then at controlled levels and know your personal and acceptable limits.
