Nutrient Deficiency and Anxiety or OCD
Nutrients are the building blocks for everything in our body. The biochemical and neurochemistry pathways all use vitamins and nutrients to do their processes. A single deficit can disrupt or slow an entire system.
Nutrients build and support neurotransmitters.
Mental health and psychiatry place large focus on neurotransmitter function, all of which are influenced by and created from nutrients. Treating symptoms by nutrient means can be used in place of or while utilizing a pharmacological approach.
