> My nutrition for years was a mess because I could barely eat. That caused a vicious feedback response which only worsened my condition. It's only recently that I've been in a position to consider nutrition at all. Better late than never, of course. Can "oxidative stress" cause something like melancholic depression?
It could be a major contributor. I hesitate to use the word cause. There are always other factors to consider. Poor nutrition could also lengthen the period of major symptoms.

Just know in your heart that you're doing the right thing for your well-being. You are what you eat. It can take a long time to restore your body's reserve of nutrients and raw materials, and to flush out the debris from periods of lower quality maintenance. One day at a time, you'll get stronger and stronger.
