Anything: That causes you stress like a diet that could cause you worry could make your depression worse. See your doctor right away.

Yes: There is evidence a low-carb diet (like the Banring diet)can aggravate anxiety and depression in some people; we're all individuals & some may have less anxiety and depression on it, but some will have it worsen. See http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200404/low-carb-state-mind Those who feel worse on a low-carb diet should consider a diet like Dr. Fuhrman's: see http://bit.ly/1dHW9hT
