Clinical Note to the World #8: New Emotions

Emotions are not only psychological — they are biochemical.

Many people experience anxiety, irritability, low mood, or overwhelm and assume it is purely emotional. But clinically, emotional states are often closely linked to underlying nutrient and biochemical imbalances:

• low magnesium (anxiety, tension, poor stress tolerance)  
• low GABA tone (difficulty relaxing, feeling “wired”)  
• serotonin imbalance (low mood, worry, sleep disruption)  
• dopamine imbalance (low motivation, focus issues, fatigue)  
• blood sugar instability (irritability, mood swings, crashes)  
• low B vitamins (especially B6, B12, folate — mood and energy changes)  
• iron deficiency (fatigue, low resilience, brain fog)  
• omega-3 deficiency (inflammation, mood instability)  

What I often look at clinically:

• micronutrient status (B vitamins, magnesium, iron)  
• neurotransmitter patterns (indirect markers)  
• glucose and insulin regulation  
• inflammatory markers  
• hormonal balance (thyroid, cortisol, sex hormones)  

Emotions are not “just in the mind.” They are signals reflecting the internal state of the body. If emotional patterns persist, I always ask: What biochemical imbalance is influencing the nervous system?

Consider these potential patterns. Do you recognize yourself?

• feeling anxious without clear reason  
• low motivation or mental fatigue  
• irritability or mood swings during the day  
• feeling overwhelmed by small things  
• difficulty calming down or “switching off”  
• energy and mood fluctuating with meals

Medicine begins with attentive listening, refined clinical observation, and comprehensive testing chosen for the individual — not the routine.
