Abstract
The World Health Organization estimates that 3.8% of the world population is affected by some sort of depressive disorder. Major depressive disorder is diagnosed if a person has depressed mood and/or anhedonia for a long period of time, along with at least four other depressive symptoms such as feelings of guilt or worthlessness, lack of energy, poor concentration, appetite changes, psychomotor retardation or agitation, sleep disturbances, or suicidal thoughts. The Mediterranean diet is a mostly plant-based diet, focusing on vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, whole grains, fish, olive oil and other healthy fats, dairy in smaller amounts, herbs and spices, and moderate intake of red wine. It has been linked to overall improvement of mental and physical health. Some studies suggest that it helps prevent or lower the symptoms of a major depressive disorder. This thesis investigated those studies to gather information from around the world, by the means of different methods, and determine whether most studies do find a connection between the Mediterranean diet and a decrease in depressive symptoms. The results showed that it does generally have a positive effect on lowering depressive symptoms, but they also pointed out the problems with the methods of the studies mentioned, and the need for future investigation of the problem.
Abstract (croatian)
World Health Organization procjenjuje da 3.8% svjetske populacije boluje od nekog oblika depresivnog poremećaja. Veliki depresivni poremećaj dijagnosticiran je kada osoba ima anhedoniju i/ili je depresivnog raspoloženja dug period, uz još barem četiri simptoma poput osjećaja krivnje ili bezvrijednosti, manjka energije, slabe koncentracije, promjene apetita, psihomotorne retardacije ili agitacije, poteškoća sa snom ili suicidalnih misli. Mediteranska prehrana je prehrana većinski na bazi biljaka s fokusom na povrće, voće, orašaste plodove, cjelovita zrna, ribu, maslinovo ulje i ostale zdrave izvore masti, manje količine mliječnih proizvoda, začinskog bilja i umjerene količine crnog vina. Povezuje se s cjelokupnim poboljšanjem fizičkog i mentalnog zdravlja. Neka istraživanja predlažu da pomaže spriječiti ili smanjiti simptome velikog depresivnog poremećaja. Ovaj rad prikuplja ta istraživanja kako bi se pregledale informacije sa svih strana svijeta, uz raznolike metode istraživanja, i definiralo postoji li zaista u većini slučajeva poveznica između mediteranske prehrane i smanjenja depresivnih simptoma. Rezultati su pokazali kako generalno postoji pozitivan utjecaj mediteranske prehrane na smanjenje depresivnih simptoma, ali također su istaknuli probleme s korištenim metodama i potrebu za budućim, dubljim istraživanjima problema.
