Which treatment for depression requires careful restrictions in diet?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) require careful restrictions in diet to avoid certain foods that can cause an increase in blood pressure, known as a hypertensive crisis. These foods include aged cheeses, cured meats, and fermented products, among others. Tricyclic antidepressants may have interactions with certain foods, but do not require as strict of restrictions as MAOIs. Electroconvulsive therapy and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors do not have any dietary restrictions.
