He believes that the depressive syndrome is the expression of any of a wide variety of negative influences, including deterioration in body structure or function, psychological conflicts and losses, and environmental challenges, to name a few. Similarly, successful treatments can approach depression from any direction that influences it, whether physical, functional, psychological, behavioral, physiological or spiritual. He is especially interested in reviewing nutritional approaches to healing depression, since the role of dietary factors, including food sensitivities is often neglected by treatment approaches.
