Abstract: The purpose of this research is to provide an updated review of the relationship between depressive emotional states and food intake and determine the effects they produce in the development of this emotional disorder. Gathering evidence on the role of nutrition in depressive states, will help to develop health recommendations to the population and to fulfill future psychological care through interdisciplinary treatments. Psychologists accompany patients taking into account the therapeutic link using a wide range of therapeutic techniques. Additionally, dietary interventions have thrown evidences that in depressive states, there are often significant nutritional deficiencies and digestive problems. For the present review we have searched up to December 2019 for studies that examined the relationship between dietary intake and depressive symptoms. A total of 4 longitudinal studies, 1 case-control trial, 8 crosssectional studies, 3 cohort studies and 2 clinical trials were included. Cross-sectional evidence and prospective studies suggest an inverse association between a healthy diet and depression, although they cannot establish a direct causality. Following a healthy diet in particular, a traditional Mediterranean diet and avoiding a proinflammatory diet appears to show some protection against depression in observational studies. In addition, a lower dietary inflammatory index was also associated with a lower incidence of depression. These results may be useful in developing interventions that aim to promote healthy eating as a support in the prevention or treatment of depression, along with psychological intervention, a healthy lifestyle, physical activity and proper sleep hygiene
