Nutritional deficiencies should be part of this conversation.
A majority of Americans are magnesium deficient. Magnesium calms the nervous system.
“In healthy adults, magnesium sits inside the NMDA receptors, preventing them from being triggered by weak signals that may stimulate your nerve cells unnecessarily. When your magnesium levels are low, fewer NMDA receptors are blocked. This means they are prone to being stimulated more often than necessary.“

Mg L-threonate has helped my anxiety 2x more than years of talk therapy.
- ddlutz 6y agoWhat dose do you take? I might give this a shot.
- aantix 6y agoOne dose of magnesium l-threonate with l-theanine before bed. One dose in the morning. Each dose is usually 3 capsules, containing 144mg of elemental magnesium.
- Asooka 6y agoNot sure who downvoted you, you're absolutely correct. The usual culprits are magnesium, vitamin D and calcium. Those can result in moderate depression and anxiety in otherwise healthy individuals. Getting tested is pretty cheap, pretty much everyone with anxiety, depression or chronic fatigue should get some simple bloodwork done first to rule out the easily correctable causes.
