“…Still searching for a nutritional cause for the symptoms of depression, the level of consumption of stimulants -caffeine and alcohol -was analyzed in this study. Caffeine is the most commonly used stimulant in the world and is consumed in the most significant amounts with coffee and, to a lesser extent, with black tea [63,64]. Many studies confirm the positive role of caffeine in preventing or reducing the symptoms of depression.…”

“…Another study showed that consuming 4 or more cups of coffee a day significantly reduced the risk of depressive symptoms, compared to people who drank one or fewer cups of coffee a day [65]. Also, Asil et al [64] compared black tea and caffeine consumption with depression in a study conducted on 491 adults, of whom 322 were women. The average daily caffeine intake was calculated based on the volume of caffeine-containing beverages and their content in each as also used in the current study.…”

Introduction andObjective. Among the factors influencing the development and inhibition of depression symptoms are food and nutrients. The aim of the study was analysis of depression symptoms among vegetarians and omnivores in Poland using BDI-II and assessment of the quality of their diet. Materials and method. The study involved women, 50 vegetarians and 50 omnivores, aged 17-50. BDI-II, author›s questionnaire and nutritional diary were used for the analysis. Results. Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between the duration of the vegetarian diet and the occurrence of depression. There was no correlation between supplementation and the appearance or absence of depression symptoms. Vegetarians with symptoms of depression provided adequate amounts of magnesium. The results were statistically significant. Vitamin B 12 deficiency was found in vegetarians with and without depressive symptoms (p>0.05). The consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, tyrosine and tryptophan was higher among non-depressives among vegetarians and omnivores. These results were not statistically significant. Vegetarians with symptoms of depression consume more alcohol (p>0.05). Vegetarians with symptoms of depression and omnivores without symptoms also consumed the most caffeine (p>0.05). Conclusions. Depressive symptoms were more common among vegetarians. Analysis shows that it is impossible to find a nutritional cause that would have a significant impact on the development of depressive symptoms. In the studied group of vegetarians, nutrition was a insignificant factor in the presence or absence of depressive symptoms. Nevertheless, there is a need for additional research on the impact of a plantbased diet on the mental health of the vegetarian community, among both men and women.

“…They also reported no significant dose-response relationship between coffee consumption and the risk of depression. Moreover, a recent study showed that black tea consumption up to four cups and a caffeine intake between 450-600 mg/day can help protect against depression [ 32 ]. In our study, the median caffeine intake was estimated to be less than that (approximately 160 mg/day).…”

Background and aimExcessive intake of sugars and energy from drinks has been postulated to increase the risk of obesity, which may in turn be associated with mental health disorders. In addition, excessive intakes of alcohol and caffeine may co-occur with psychiatric disorders. The purpose of the present pilot study was to estimate energy, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol intakes through the consumption of drinks in patients with schizophrenia and affective disorders and assess potential differences in drink consumption between the two disorders. MethodologyThe current study included 89 outpatients with schizophrenia (n = 36) and affective disorders (n = 53) attending the psychiatric clinic of the University General Hospital of Larissa (UGHL) in Greece. In addition to anthropometric measurements, the patients were asked to complete a specific, previously validated questionnaire on the frequency of drink consumption in order to estimate sugar, caffeine, and alcohol intakes. ResultsThe participants had a mean body mass index (BMI) of 28.9 ± 5.6 kg/m2 without significant differences between the two types of mental disorders. Similarly, the mean waist circumference (102.6 ± 15.7 cm) and mean body fat percentage (32.9% ± 10.8%) were above the recommended values. The total energy intake from drinks was more than a third of the estimated daily energy requirements. Although there was no significant difference in the mean daily caffeine intake, those with affective disorders had a significantly higher intake of sugars from drinks (median (Mdn) = 80.0 (interquartile range (IQR) = 89.8) g/day) and alcohol (Mdn = 45.6 (IQR = 31.1) g/day), compared to those with schizophrenia (Mdn = 60.0 (IQR = 45.4) g/day and Mdn = 24.9 (IQR = 19.8) g/day, respectively). ConclusionsConsidering the link between high sugar and alcohol intake with excess body weight and mental health, these preliminary data are of particular concern and point to the need for better dietary counseling in order to improve the dietary behaviors of these patients.

“…Some have even reported that coffee or caffeine consumption increases the risk of depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and stress ( 20 , 21 ) . Several studies have shown that coffee, tea and chocolate have protective effects against depression ( 22 , 23 ) . Considering these studies, it is essential for public health to investigate the effect of consuming beverages containing high levels of caffeine, which are commonly consumed in relatively high amounts, on the psychological disorders experienced by individuals.…”

Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationship between caffeine use disorder (CUD), caffeine withdrawal symptoms, and the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS) in adults. Design: The study utilized a cross-sectional design to assess the relationships between CUD, caffeine withdrawal symptoms, and DASS. Setting: Participants’ CUD was evaluated through the Caffeine Use Disorder Questionnaire (CUDQ), while the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) measured DASS levels. Caffeine withdrawal symptoms and total caffeine intake were calculated based on self-reported consumption of caffeine-rich products. Participants: The study involved 618 participants with an average age of 27.8±7.8 years. Results: Participants consumed an average of 461.21±11.09 mg/day of caffeine, showing a positive correlation between CUD and total caffeine intake. The risk of CUD increased alongside levels of DASS. Individuals with caffeine withdrawal symptoms had higher CUDQ and DASS scores. A multiple linear regression model revealed significant associations between total caffeine intake (p<0.001) and DASS-21 score (p<0.001) with CUDQ score. Conclusions: The study concluded that caffeine, while recognized for its potential health benefits, also exhibits properties that may lead to addiction. The development of caffeine use disorder and cessation of caffeine intake can increase DASS levels in adults, indicating the need for awareness and appropriate interventions in public health nutrition.
