Re: Anxiety, depression and the Adrenal glands
I, too, am coming to this thread several years after it began, but find it very interesting. I, too, have been on the fence about whether "adrenal fatigue" is a real thing or not. My GP says no, my nutritionist said yes, and told me my adrenals were shot and had me on a supplement for months. Did it help? Not sure. My anxiety DID get better for a while but was it the supplement for the adrenals or all the other changes I was making to my diet? Or all the other supplements? After three months, I found my anxiety was right back up to where it was when I started, and all the supplements I was ingesting, plus the weekly visits and the expense was getting to be too much, so I stopped seeing him, at least for a while.
I, too, have always seen cycles in my health and mood. I seem to get "ill" about every two weeks. Just for a day or two, and not enough to keep me in bed, but enough to make me wonder what's going on. And since I often can't tell the difference between physical illness versus anxiety symptoms, who knows if it's a physical illness cycle or a mental illness cycle.
Just tagging along in case this thread comes back to life.
