Vitamin for Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Depression

Stressful situations arise in everyone’s lives from time to time. Stress from these uncomfortable experiences often gives rise to mood changes, and it can lead to chronic anxiety, depression, and even severe panic attacks.

But is stress the only or the main cause for these mood shifts? New studies point out that may not be not the case.

Anxiety and other mood disturbances can be caused on a physiological level from lacking just one specific nutrient, and it’s one that millions of people are at risk for becoming deficient in due to modern dietary trends. Do you get enough of it in your diet?

Why We Experience Mood Issues

It has been estimated that about 1 in 10 American adults and 1 in 7 adolescents experience a mood disorder every year, and frightening panic attacks are being increasingly reported by everyone from actors and celebrities to everyday kids and adults.

Each year over 18% of the American population will live with anxiety, and 7% will have depression. An estimated 4.7% of adults will have a panic attack disorder in their lifetime.

All three are making it harder for people to lead day-to-day lives.

In the medical community, there is currently no agreed upon theory about the one cause of mood disorders, and a combination of all three genetic, psychological and physiological causes is suggested. There is, however, the most recognized theory that all of them stem from imbalances in the brain.

In the last decade, a new theory has also emerged that linked mood disorders, nutritional and chemical imbalances stem from our toxic food and environment combined with chemical-laden processed food.

The good news is that, aside from work with a highly quality naturopathic or functional doctor, there is one vitamin you can take that won’t cause harm, and may be able to heal you from any and all of these disorders
