Depression and anxiety
Other mental problems associated with magnesium deficiency are depression and anxiety disorders. There’s a high number of depression and anxiety patients with magnesium deficiency problems, and scientists have concluded that lacking this nutrient gives you a higher risk of depression and may promote anxiety. Note that, even though there’s a proven association, the exact mechanism is not known and we might need to have more evidence before reaching to any definite conclusion. Thus, even though it is a possible symptom, remember depression and anxiety should be treated by a specialist and may require more than an adjustment in the diet to be fixed.
