Depression: It’s not all in your head.

22/9/2016

 
Picture
1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year with anxiety and depression being the most common. Conventional treatment usually involves anti-depressant / anti-anxiety drugs for which there is growing evidence that they are not as effective as first thought.

This article by Dr Kelly Brogan explores the idea that depression and associated mental health issues isn't so much to do with a chemical imbalance in the brain, but linked to specific nutrient deficiencies / poor diet choices, digestive dysfunction, blood sugar imbalance and chronic inflammation.


This is something that I wholeheartedly agree with, having seen first-hand how simple dietary changes to address nutrient deficiencies and support blood sugar balance and digestive health can make a huge difference to my clients health and wellbeing - both physical and mentally.
