Beyond the psychological, social and emotional aspects, there is usually a biological reason as to why you feel the way you do.

Did you know that there are a number of physiological causes of depression and/or anxiety that can be treated by addressing the root cause?

Here are 10 big ones:

  1. Digestive problems
  2. Hormonal imbalances
  3. Thyroid disease
  4. Poor blood sugar regulation
  5. The wrong type of dietary fats
  6. Food intolerances
  7. Over-the-counter and prescribed medication
  8. Poor sleep
  9. Pyrrole disorder
  10. Methylation issues

 

The causes mentioned above can all have an impact on the balance in body chemistry and affect the availability, synthesis and breakdown of important neurotransmitters involved in mood regulation.

Over the next few weeks I will delve into each one of these causes in greater detail.

Stay tuned for future posts.

 

Yours in Health,
