Nutrient deficiency lead to depressive feelings?

Very possible. Lack of eating, lack of sleep, and stress all together will for sure do it.

 

Stress and lack of sleep definitely lead to some degree of depression.
Add that to your not eating proper and you've got a recipe for depression.

As for the vitamins and food... vitamin B's (mostly 6 & 12) will lessen your depression. Foods high in VB are beef, spinach, bananas, garlic, salmon, and broccoli... There's more but I can't remember them all off the top of my head. Vitamin D will help too.

If you don't eat much make sure what you eat is healthy and will give you the proper vitamins and nutrients you need. Living off fast food and stuff really isn't good.

 

There's also vitamin D that makes a big difference!

It's usually produced by your own body with exposition to sunlight, but it's also in some milk products. Some people have D deficiency because their metabolism doesn't transform it right anymore even though they get sunlight (that happens in pregnant women for example), some people have D deficiency because, well, they live somewhere they don't get a proper day-night roll like on the north pole, where depression and suicide rates are unbelievably high.

D is a vitamin that builds up in the body and you need to have lacked it for a period of time to feel depressive effects.

 

With depression I also have a Vitamin D deficiency.
I was prescribed high doses of Vitamin D when some of my blood work came back extremely low...
Now I take over the counter Vitamin D - but only in the winter really because in the winter there is a lot less sunlight (which i'm sure you know) and I find my depressive moods get a lot worse during this time...

Stress and Lack of Sleep definitely doesn't help- even if u don't have depression or a nutrition problem - symptoms are similar to those of depression. (feeling tired, unable to concentrate, loss of energy)

If you really are concerned you have a Nutrition problem, and it's not getting better with your "home remedies" i would say get some blood work done....

You've mentioned some depressive feelings before, have you talked to a doctor or shrink about these feelings? Are you taking any medications? - you said lately you've been feeling quite depressed - could you maybe describe what symptoms you'r experiencing...

I wouldn't rush into thinking you have a deficiency - we see the symptoms we want to see (if that makes sense)

The head aces could be because your not really eating. I know plenty of ppl who get them if they dont eat for long periods of time or if all they eat are chips...

 

It also wouldn't hurt to get your thyroid checked out.

 

Stress and not sleeping properly are big factors here. You need to get on a healthy track with that.

Also, nurtients/vitamins can have an impact on our mental health. I totally recommend Super B Complex - it helped me get through my anxiety. I know it's good for the nervous system.
For you, I think you're just eating too much of the same thing. Balance out your diet. Get some protein in there (doesn't have to be meat.) Diversify it. I mean, really - Banana's and Spinach - do you honestly think that those 2 will suffice? Just think about it!
