A couple years ago.... I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency! This seemingly benign deficiency manifested itself and made life hell! I suffered from acidity, chest pains and nausea for 6 months before a doctor's passing comment confirmed my prognosis. After 10 shots of B12 I was as good as new! Miraculously cured!
The same villain in my past life resurfaced today on TOI's front page where it was exposed for targeting vegetarians! They linked Vitamin B12 deficiency to depression.
I suffered for too long without knowing the cause. Please pass on this to anyone you know who is suffering with acidity or depression, fatigue... the list not that long!

I do have my days of excitement, depression, elation, loneliness...you say it and its there.
I guess I have heck a lot of deficiencies!! Thanks for this information.
the article in TOI said depression for prolonged periods for unknown causes could be a symptom!
I am just surprised at how much harm one tiny deficiency can do!
Thanks for the information, P. It might come in handy someday.
I am very sorry. I thought depression is a mind related thing when unhappy things happen in life. I did not know it can happen with vitamin B12 deficiency. I sincerely hope this was a medical related deficiency and not a mind related deficiency for you.
hey SG!thank you very much.. but, mercifully I did not suffer from depression! I suffered from acidity because of B12 deficiency. that was couple of years ago.
I read this study which connected B12 to deficiency to depression and so I just put all the info up together! guess should have been clearer!
Thanks for the clarification P. I am so glad that you did not suffer from depression. i have a request. Can you please give me the link to this article. Would like to know more about it. Just academic interest. I do not suffer from depression.
