Physical Health Problems That Can Cause Your Depression

Depression is a symptom caused by many different things just like a headache can be caused by many different things. Aside from emotional, spiritual and mental health- one can have physical health ailments that can cause depression. In this email I have a list to give you, but remember...

When you see your doctor, you need to insist on a complete physical. Don't allow your doctor to simply put you on anti-depressants with never 'popping your hood' for a deeper look and the real cause of depression. Anti-depression medications can often make your depression worse (ex: suicide has been linked to Paxil).

The bottom line - play detective with your health and keep prodding your doctor with questions and use our research to know what questions to ask!!

Here are some of the physical causes of depression according to the research of Dr. Greggory Jantz...

Candida or yeast infection

Hypoglycemia

Thyroid problems and other endocrine disorders. Recent studies suggest that thyroid disorders are the most common physical illnesses that contribute to depression. Other reported cases suggest that treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism may be all that's necessary to cure life-long depression.

Environmental allergies and food allergies

Amino acid deficiencies

Electrolyte imbalances

Vitamin or mineral deficiencies

Toxic exposure to heavy metal or chemicals

Cardiopulmonary obstructive disease

Brain tumors

Alzheimer's disease

Strokes and seizures

Hypertension

Viral infections

Diabetes

Insulin resistance or difficulty metabolizing carbohydrates

Any chronic illness

Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Medications
