Is there a link between caffeine and depression?

     #Coffee #Depression #energy #Caffeine #well-being Caffeine is incredibly popular around the globe. It’s the most widely used central nervous system stimulant worldwide. Whether it’s in the form of coffee, tea, or energy drinks, people love getting their daily caffeine energy boost. About 85% of the U.S. population drinks at least one caffeinated beverage a day. But with all of this caffeine in our daily drinks, you might be wondering what impact it could be having on our mental health, too. Does caffeine affect depression or have any long-term effects on the symptoms of depression? Is there a particular form of caffeine that’s better for depression than the others?  These questions have been at the center of new research that helps us better understand the link between caffeine and depression. Most people consume caffeine for a boost in energy. Because the body and brain are intricately connected, this little energy kick may also help boost your mood, at least in the short term. R
