am thinking along the lines of people like myself who never were all that anxious, then sort of developed anxiety out of nowhere, and you can tell that the shakiness, heart palps aren't due to stress or anything. For me, it was totally out of nowhere and I could pinpoint the problem. Then I went back to my normal self after removing the offending foods and reworking my own biochemistry. Even if its not related to diet directly, the immune system component to depression and anxiety cannot be argued. Cytokines can cause experimental depression in animals... possibly viruses and other non dietary components are involved? Who knows. But it's my belief that in people who were normal then get a mental disorder, the core problem lies in some sort of abnormal immune activation that didn't exist before the disorder.
