The One Vitamin That Could Put an End to Your Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Depression for Good
Stressful situations arise in everyone’s lives from time to time. Stress from these uncomfortable experiences often gives rise to mood changes, and it can lead to chronic anxiety, depression, and even severe panic attacks. But is stress the only or the main cause for these mood shifts? New studies point out that may not be not the case. Anxiety and other mood disturbances can be caused on a physiological level from lacking just one specific nutrient, and it’s one that millions of people are at risk for becoming deficient in due to modern dietary trends.

The Grim Reality of Making Peace in Syria
