10 Magnesium Deficiency Symptoms
Symptom #10: Mental Disorders
Some mental disorders such as apathy and delirium can be symptoms of low magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can even lead to depression, anxiety and coma. Considering that magnesium is involved in nerve functions, its deficiency can interfere with the proper functioning of the nervous system including parts of the brain. This can lead to some mental dysfunction and cause the above symptoms. It is therefore possible that mental disorders that occur with no known cause may be the result of low magnesium levels.
While no evidence-based studies are available, eating more magnesium-rich foods or taking magnesium supplements can help to recover from some of these mental disorders; however, it is also worth to note that there are many causes of mental disorders so seek medical advice and treatment.
