For those of you with iron deficiency and clinical depression, please read the above article.
I have low iron again and the doc has put me on iron tablets yet again. My husband has been doing some research today and found many articles that link iron deficiency to clinical depression. The above link makes for REALLY interesting reading. On Monday I am taking iron tablets and an amino acid (protein) which binds the iron. I was feeling really down after my blood results today because I was convinced that like my Sister and Dad I had a thyroid issue or coeliacs disease. I wanted a reason for my depression. I feel a little uplifted than I did earlier. Could it be that my iron deficiency is the cause of my clinical depression? Even the GP admits shes out of her depth with this sort of detail! The psych doc at the CBT clinic hasn't even mentioned blood tests! Just pumped me full of drugs!Well no more!Dear God, please let this be THE answer.
