Depression is very common nowadays and many of us are advised medications as soon as the first symptoms of depression are first seen. Along with that it is necessary to have a thorough medical checkup as several vitamin deficiencies have led to Depression. So do a complete checkup of yourself, your habits, your diet and you may see that there are a lot of factors that contribute to depression and it may not be clinical depression itself. So what are the nutritional deficiencies that have led to depression or clinical depression like symptoms. There are hormonal imbalances, thyroid deficiencies, Omega 3 fatty deficiencies, Vitamin D deficiency, Vitamin B complex deficiencies, folate deficiencies and a host of other nutritional deficiencies. So take a stalk of your moods and mood feelings, also act at the same time. Write down your sleeping habits, eating habits. How you interact what others, what all stressful situations you are going through and see if there is anything to connect the you may feel that everything else may be find and your diet may be deficient and in that case you have to make up for this nutritional deficiencies. You might have to eat the right kind of food that will offset the deficiencies or take supplements for the same. Also consult your doctor and find out what nutritional deficiencies are and how to overcome them. I am not at all suggesting that it is vitamin deficiencies or nutritional deficiencies that are contributing to depression. All to know that there is no harm to check out these factors before considering therapy and treatment for clinical depression.
