Abstract

With the accelerated pace of modern life, mood disorders occur more frequently, especially depression. There are several components in tea and coffee that are associated with the development of depression. Tea affects depression by reducing oxidative stress, regulating the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, inhibiting the overproduction of inflammatory cytokines or mediators. Caffeine in coffee and its derivative affect depression by exciting the central nervous system and diuresis. The frequency of intake of both of them also has different effects on depression. High intake of tea is protective against depression. Moderate coffee consumption can reduce depression. However, there are still some studies suggesting that the effects of tea and coffee intake on depression are controversial, so more extensive and deeper research is needed.
