How the Immune System Triggers Depression Anxiety

New Study Links Stress and Immune System to Depression Anxiety.

Groundbreaking research from Ohio State University has discovered the process by which stress and the immune system causes anxiety. Article.

Using mouse models, researchers John Sheridan, Jonathan Godbout, and Eric Wohleb, demonstrated how chronic stress activates the immune system in the bone marrow to release monocytes, which travel to the areas of the brain responsible for mood, causing inflammation resulting in anxiety.

This new study adds further proof to the idea that depression anxiety is an immuno-inflammatory condition and supports the Gut Brain Connection explanation for depression anxiety.

In our article on “What Causes Depression Anxiety”, we explain that depression anxiety can be caused by chronic stress, gut inflammation caused by diet, or a combination of both stress and diet.

In the gut, which contains 80% of the immune system, chronic inflammation from diet causes leaky gut syndrome which allows undigested food proteins to enter the bloodstream, where they are attacked by the immune system, releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines and monocytes, which just like in stress induced depression anxiety, travel to the brain and produce inflammation leading to depression anxiety.

What happens with gut induced depression anxiety is that the immune system develops antibodies to food proteins entering the bloodstream, so that every time you eat a particular food protein, the immune system is triggered, which leads to inflammation in the gut, and depression anxiety.

Which is how gluten and lactose, which many people have trouble digesting properly, can trigger an immune response and depression anxiety.

An overactive immune system, whether from chronic stress, gut inflammation and damage from a poor diet, lack of sleep, or illness, results in inflammation in the area of the brain responsible for learning, memory, and mood.

What complicates the picture even more, is that chronic stress interrupts the digestive process, which leads to gut damage and inflammation, and the creation of immune response antibodies to undigested food particles and toxins.

So, that even if and when the chronic stress has disappeared, the damage to the gut remains, and so does the trigger for depression anxiety.  Because of the damage to the gut, and the creation of immune antibodies, depression anxiety can continue long after the stress is gone.

Which is why the Depression Anxiety Diet attempts to heal the brain by healing the gut.  Ending gut inflammation and the immune response by eliminating food triggers to stop inflammation in the brain which produces depression anxiety.
