What this Trial Is About
This study is being done to examine the feasibility, including recruitment, retention and acceptability of a randomized controlled trial of a personalized dietary intervention in adolescents with depression. Evidence suggests that dietary quality may affect an individual's mood. A healthy diet includes vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, as well as minimally processed whole grains, legumes, and moderate amounts of lean meat, fish, and dairy. The investigators will examine the feasibility of testing a personalized nutrition eating plan in a study that uses a randomized controlled trial design for children and youth with depression.
