, researchers asked over 100 college students with symptoms of depression and less-than-healthy diets to rate their symptoms, including anxiety, current mood, and self-efficacy . Then, the students were split into two groups.
After three weeks, all the participants checked back in with the research group. Those on the Mediterranean diet reported that, on average, their symptoms of depression had dropped from moderately severe to normal, with specific improvements in anxiety and stress as compared to the control group. The more closely the participants had adhered to the diet, the more improvements they saw.

But this study is a good indication that, yes, eating healthier can positively affect mental health in real, measurable ways, especially alongside other forms of treatment.
