Mental health is about being cognitively, emotionally and socially healthy – the way we think, feel and develop relationships - and not merely the absence of a mental health condition.
Having social connections, good personal relationships and being part of a community are vital to maintaining good mental health and contribute to people's recovery, should they become unwell.
However, if you feel that you may be affected by depression or anxiety remember they are treatable conditions and effective treatments are available. The earlier you seek support, the better.
Talk to your GP, Councillor, psychologist or family and friends.

Magnesium and Mental Health

Magnesium has a role in over 300 chemical reactions in the body. It helps with blood pressure, muscle and nerve function, modulates the HPA Axis, and immune function.

Magnesium may help with stress and anxiety, improving sleep, and muscle tension (magnesium is commonly prescribed for muscle cramps).

Too much magnesium can lead to painful abdominal cramps and diarrhoea, so seek professional advice before you start taking magnesium.

It’s worth noting that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to taking nutritional supplements for mental health, or other health problems. What suits one patient, won’t suit another. It’s essential you consult a qualified and accredited practitioner to help determine the right nutritional supplement for you.
