Depression
Depression (major depressive disorder or clinical depression) is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. To be diagnosed with depression, the symptoms must be present for at least two weeks.
Depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the U.S. Current research suggests that depression is caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors.
There are several forms of depression, and no two people are alike in how the symptoms are presented. Some people may experience few symptoms, while others may experience many.

What is Quinoa??
Pronounced “keen-wah”
This Incan superfood has been eaten for thousands of years in South America and has recently gained momentum as a healthy food option.
Quinoa counts as a whole grain food, although it is really a seed, eaten like a grain. This naturally gluten-free food is low on the Glycemic Index (about a 53) and may improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
One of few plant foods that contains all nine essential amino acids, quinoa is also high in fiber and these nutrients:
– Magnesium
– B vitamins
– Iron
– Potassium
– Calcium
– Phosphorous
– Vitamin E
– Antioxidants
This nutrient packed food can be easily prepared and is very versatile in recipes with its nutty flavor.
Check out this Quinoa Fried Rice recipe from the food blog Gimme Some Oven. This recipe swaps out rice with protein-packed quinoa for a healthier alternative to your favorite take-out side dish!
