Depression: Vitamin Supplements May Help to Stop Depression
New research in depression causes found out that supplements
could help to stop this disease in depressed people that might
have problems metabolizing the B vitamin folate. According to
Dr. Ingvar Bjelland of the University of Bergen, vitamins are
important, not only for the physical health, but for the mental
health as well.
The researcher explains that folate might play an important role
in depression, as the body may need the B vitamin in order to
build substances in the brain because a lack of these substances
may cause different mental disorders, including depression.
Depression arises more commonly in people who has high levels of
the amino acid homocysteine in their blood and in those who have
a form of a gene that encodes a protein involved in processing
folate, under results of an investigation performed in Norway.
It is known that folic acid (the form of folate found in
supplements) aid in breaking down homocysteine, whic is a normal
byproduct of metabolism. Therefore, Dr. Bjelland explains that
the lack of folate and/or a disturbed folate metabolism may
partially cause depression in some people.
The fact that folic acid supplements may encourage the effects
of antidepressants, as suggested previous research, is supported
by Bjelland. Results published in the Archives of General
Psychiatry, may support the
suggestion that folate may prevent
depression, acording to the expert.
Researcher's findings state that people who has relatively high
levels of homocysteine in their blood were almost twice as
likely to be depressed, in comparison to people with the lowest
blood levels of homocysteine.
Bjelland obtained his findings after scanning blood samples from
5,948 people between the ages of 46 and 49, and screening them
for depression and anxiety.
