Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a pilot open label crossover trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of reducing ultra- processed foods (UPF) in a personalized manner from the diets of patients with major depressive disorder who eat a large percentage of UPF.

Clinical Trial Description

There is a need for additional treatment or augmentation strategies for people who have depression. Epidemiological and observational studies show that an increased consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) is associated with an increased risk of developing depression. This study will test the hypothesis that that reducing UPF intake from the diets of patients with major depressive disorder who eat a large percentage of UPF is a feasible and acceptable intervention. ;
