'Van Gogh is Bipolar' Restaurant Serves Up Happy Hormones

— September 30, 2009 — Lifestyle
Imagine if you could chase away depression simply by visiting a restaurant. In the Philippines you can! The ‘Van Gogh is Bipolar’ cafe in Quezon City in the Philippines serves only foods that contain ‘happy hormones’-- hormones that when consumed will lift your mood right up.

The food served at Van Gogh is Bipolar is all-natural, containing hormones believed to help balance the brain’s level of serotonin and dopamine—which consequently helps to alleviate mild to moderate depression. The cafe’s dish names are inspired by celebrities who have suffered from mood disorders such as the Larry Flynt Cabbage Experience or the Jim Carey Sardines. Van Gogh himself may have suffered from bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
