Does inflammation affect your mental health?
The effects of chronic inflammation on mental and emotional health can be so impactful on your life.
Mental illnesses are not inflammatory disorders by themselves and nor does it mean that people with mental illnesses have elevated levels of inflammation in their body. It is a lot more complex than that.
There are studies that show people with conditions such as depression that they have elevated inflammation in their bodies but high levels of inflammation is not necessarily a condition in people with more severe mental health conditions. The mechanisms of the effects of inflammation in the body and how the body becomes inflammatory is really involved and is unique to the individual’s make-up, surroundings and their lifestyle.
It goes without saying that if you are living with inflammation, and living with pain, and having to cope with all of the inconveniences of how it affects your body, then there is no doubt that this will affect your mental health. There is also no doubt that it could become a vicious circle because if your mental health is affected, this has a profound affect on your body and this added stress in itself could increase inflammation.
What I know for certain, from my extensive studies and my experience working with people, and understanding the complex relationship of the body, emotions and mental health when inflammation is present, is that diet and lifestyle are major factors in recovery.
This is why the Eat Burn Sleep program that I created is proving successful in improving mental conditions.
