Depression
Problems associated in treating Magnesium Deficiency
magnesium is the best treatment for the depression
as the recent studies reveal this facts .
most of us feel stress due to various reasons but we generally neglect it, but sometimes the stress may create problem bigger ..
one of the reason for frequently falling in sress is due to decrease in the Magnesium levels in our body.
Research studies says that most of the depression cases are occurred due to fluctuations in the magnesium levels, but in most of the cases it is unnoticed leading difficult in curing the depression so. it is mandatory to check the magnesium levels as a preventive measure if you feel frequent stress.
but the worst thing in its treatment is even the treatment itself can cause magnesium deficiency if sufficient strategy is not followed in dosage regimen especially in combination of drugs, mainly in alcoholics, hypertension , joint pain patients sometimes the treatment acts just like an cycle ending at a starting point
factors that cause magnesium levels to decrease
Mainly the magnesium deficency may arise due to
1.strees chronic,
2.due to intake of diuretics,
3.caffeine products like cofee/tea in it4.due to our diet containing refined carbohydrates,
even our diet food habbit also shows its impact on absorption of magnesium levels certain research studies shown that high intake of refined dietary carbohydrate like cookies, cakes, bakery items, junk food also decreases the absorption of magnesium levels
so, it is important to check our magnesium levels regularly as magnesium is an essential mineral involved on more than 18000 biological functions in our body.
Fluctuations in the magnesium levels causes
1.Depression which is an extremely dangerious situation than diabetics and hypertension
generely in treating in it docters prescribe serotoninin reuptake inhibitors to treat it but the important thing here is that ssri's causes decreasing or causing folic acid deficency along with vitamin b15 and b5 deficencies which again causes depression so care should be taken while prescribing those drugs in treating depression
be awre i f ur docter precscribes the below combinations unknowngly
it is always better to follow a single physician in order to avoid all drug drug ,drug food interactions.
Major depression is a mood disorder characterized by a sense of inadequacy, despondency, decreased
activity, pessimism, anhedonia and sadness where these symptoms severely disrupt and adversely affect the person’s life, sometimes to such an extent that suicide is attempted or results.Magnesium deficiency
is well known to produce neuropathologies. Only 16% of the magnesium found in whole wheat remains in refined flour, and magnesium has been removed from most drinking water supplies, setting a stage for human magnesium deficiency.
few functions are Magnesium ions regulate calcium ion flow in neuronal calcium channels, helping to regulate neuronal nitric oxide production. In magnesium deficiency, neuronal requirements for magnesium may not be met, causing neuronal damagewhich could manifest as depression.
Fortifying refined grain and drinking water with biologically available magnesium to pre-twentieth century levels is recommended. The benefit of magnesium to treat agitated depression was first published in 1921 by Weston. Magnesium sulfate (10% elemental magnesium) was injected in doses of one to two CCs of a 25% or 50% solution resulting in nearly all of his fifty patients relaxing and sleeping from 4 to 6 h.
Magnesium is recognized in homeopathic medicine for the treatment of depression. For example,
magnesium chloride (Magnesia Muriatica) has been used for many decades to relieve various emotional
problems including anxiety, apathy, aversions, despair, depression, discontent, headaches, insecurity,
irritability, over sensitiveness, restlessness, sulkiness, talkativeness and uncertainty
Wacker and Parisi reported in 1968 that magnesium deficiency could cause numerous neuromuscular symptoms including hyperexcitability, depression, behavior disturbances, tetany, headaches,
generalized tonic-clonic as well as focal seizures, ataxia, vertigo, muscular weakness, tremors, irritability, and psychotic behavior, each of which were reversible by magnesium repletion.
Magnesium deficiency symptoms are non-specific due to its necessity in over 325 enzymes. With
most of these enzymes being brain-related, the possibility that magnesium deficiency is involved in a variety of neurosis can be safely assumed.
2.magnesium deficency also causes vasoconstriction which inturn results in muscle spsm and increasing the blood pressure levels in our body . but the problem appears here when physician prescribes diuretics to treat it so it is better to go with family physician only as he knows or can predict the other medicines instead of diuretics.
3.as the magnesium is an important mineral in bone composotion, deficency may result in demineralisation of bone, weakness in bone strength, osteoporesis. generally docters prescribe hormone replacement theraphy HRT in it generally oestrigen but due to this may result in decreasing of folic acid levels in our body which again results depression and the cycle begins.
4.magnesium deficency also results in theckining of blood causing in rise in bloodpressure as the viscosity of blood is increased and generaaly these cases are treated with anti coagulant drugs like warfarin but this warfarin inhibits vitamin k absorption causing weakining of bone and another cycle begins.
5.It also causes muscle spasm which produces seveare pain in patients suffering from it for this usimg NSAIDS is best treatment for it but the problem comes with its one of its side effects that it causes increase in the cholesterol levels of the body which is the of the reason why mahnesium levels drops in our body.
high dose of magnesium
what happens if we magnesium levels hikes to abnormal levels
The main side effect reported from high-dose magnesium and low calcium intake as treatment for depression was diarrhea. This results mainly from the attachment of each magnesium ion to about 800 molecules of water in the intestinal tract. Any treatment to terminate diarrhea, including lowering magnesium intake, was deemed essential to promote proper absorption of nutrients.
One gram of arginine with each meal helped prevent magnesium-induced diarrhea, while 3 gm per meal caused severe constipation, perhaps due to the effect of excessive arginine-induced nitric oxide on nonadrenergic, noncholinergic inhibitory nerves of the colon
