Feeling No energy and very depressed that past month. Seems to be getting worse. I am taking Iron pills but don t seem to be helping. Just wondering what I can add to my diet or vitamins. I am normally a overactive hyper person. I feel like bricks with No happiness now. I am 42 and mother of a 5 year old.
Hello thanks for asking You have persistent fatigue, low energy and these could be the symptoms of underlying depression. Depression might present with somatic symptoms and result in such symptoms. If you want dietary changes then you should follow a balanced diet plan. Take foods rich in proteins and complex carbs and low in refined carbs and fats. This will make absorption of amino acids in brain, and you will see improvement. Also increase the use of vitamin B12 rich foods in diet. Animal foods like milk, curd, buttermilk, eggs are rich in B12 and with time your symptoms will decrease. Foods rich in Omega Fatty Acids should be included in diet. Salmon or Sardine fish, walnuts, chocolates are rich sources and will beat your depressive symptoms. Exercise daily and sleep for at least 7 hours a day, and you will see Chat Doctor. Thanks and Take care
