At the time of the research, more than 152.8 thousand people completed online surveys about mental health and attitudes towards coffee. The results showed that 81% of participants drank coffee. Of these, 41% drank two to three cups of whole grain coffee a day, 28% drank one cup, and the rest drank more than three cups.
According to the analysis, the group with the lowest risk of depression and anxiety was in the first group. Drinking more than six cups a day sharply increased the likelihood of developing depressive and anxiety disorders. It was also revealed that 2-3 cups of instant coffee a day reduced the likelihood of depression but did not affect anxiety.
Scientists stated that the positive mental effect of coffee continues when consumed with milk, sugar and other flavors.

Our findings suggest that moderate coffee consumption may be associated with a healthy lifestyle for the prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety in the general population.” “He supports the suggestion that it could be part of his style.”
