What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope that people will be able to help themselves with information given on the connection between mood disorders and nutrition.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Mood disorders are not created in the mind, but result from a flaw in the metabolism of food into neurotransmitters.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

A low self-esteem is not always in the mind, but more often in an unhealthy body.
