Question

How to respond respectfully: Health and mental health are directly related to life choices. An individual's choices in diet and consumption of drugs and alcohol can significantly impact their overall health and mental health. According to Firth et al. (2020) research, the consumption of highly refined carbohydrates can increase depressive symptoms in healthy volunteers. Additionally, the research found that anti-inflammatory agents such as nonsteroidal drugs can significantly reduce depressive symptoms (Firth et al., 2020). Recreational drugs can affect mental health as well. Regular use of cannabis can increase the risk of anxiety and depressive symptoms (Mental Health Foundation, 2021). Other drugs, such as hallucinogenic and stimulant drugs, have been found to worsen mental health symptoms (Mental Health Foundation, 2021). However, many individuals face a higher exposure to these life choices due to social determinants of health (SDOH). SDOH includes conditions individuals are born into, live in, or work in, socioeconomic status, access to education, health services, employment, and food (Munoz)
