When people come to me for advice, I always remember that psychological problems can have roots not only in our thoughts and attitudes, but also in the physiology of our body. Imagine There's a moment when your mental state is like a complex puzzle, and one of the keys to solving it may be your physical health. Lack of certain vitamins and minerals, as well as hormone imbalances in the body, can have a serious impact on your mental state. Let's talk about how vitamin and mineral deficiencies can affect our overall health: Iron: Iron deficiency can manifest itself in a variety of symptoms, such as weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath with the slightest effort, dizziness and even numbness in some cases. Iron plays an important role in transporting oxygen throughout the body, and its deficiency can lead to feelings of chronic fatigue. Vitamin D: A lack of vitamin D can affect our mood, causing low mood swings and lack of energy. It can also manifest itself as decreased visual acuity, increased sweating and more frequent colds and acute respiratory viral infections. Folic acid: A lack of folic acid can affect your emotional state, causing fatigue, irritability, depression and weakness. It can also cause apathy, lethargy, and even impaired cognitive function. B vitamins: A deficiency of B vitamins can result in increased fatigue, irritability, and even insomnia. These vitamins play an important role in maintaining energy and the nervous system. In particular, a lack of vitamin B12 can cause fatigue, anemia, insomnia and decreased appetite. It can also cause stomach upset and symptoms such as numbness in the fingers and muscle pain. Magnesium: A lack of magnesium can cause weakness, lack of energy, headaches, increased anxiety, changes in mood and even irregular heartbeat. Vitamin C: A lack of vitamin C can manifest as weakness, chronic fatigue and emotional instability. So if you are experiencing psychological difficulties, in addition to consulting a psychologist, consider visiting a doctor and getting some tests done to find out what is going on in your body. A complete (clinical) blood test may reveal the presence of anemia, inflammatory processes and other conditions that can affect your mood and general condition. To detect anemia, it is better to do a ferritin blood test with a general blood test. This protein is a depot of iron in the body, and it shows the true state of affairs with iron, even when hemoglobin in a general analysis may show normal. A biochemical blood test, which includes blood glucose levels among other indicators, will help rule out diabetes, pancretitis and liver disease, which can also affect your emotional well-being. Check levels of important vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, vitamins B12, D and folate acid, which can affect your mental state. Thyroid hormones (T3, T4 and TSH) and sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone) also play an important role in regulating your mood and emotions. If test results show any abnormalities , don't worry! Doctors are ready to offer you appropriate treatment that will help restore balance in your body and, as a result, improve your physical and mental well-being. However, let's not forget that not all psychological problems are necessarily associated with physiological causes. Sometimes they can have roots in social or psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, depression and much more. Therefore, if you have psychological problems, do not hesitate to seek help from a psychologist. He can help you understand all the intricacies of your inner world , solve the mysteries of your.
