Mast Cell Disorders and Histamine and Anxiety or OCD
Awareness and diagnosis for mast cell disorders or histamine intolerance has improved in recent years. Due to the inflammatory mechanisms and imbalanced neurotransmitters involved, notably histamine, they can often lead to anxiety symptoms and can worsened OCD. Whether it is a primary cause of your anxiety or OCD symptoms or a co-condition that is making symptoms worse, addressing both allows you to synergize treatments.
