Magnesium for Anxiety and Depression? The Science Says Yes!

Magnesium is considered one of the essential minerals that is involved in more than 300 different body processes, including keeping your heart beating and maintaining electrical stability of your nervous system. Magnesium is used by the body to help regulate serotonin and other neurotransmitters. And some researchers believe that low Magnesium is the problem behind treatment resistant depression. In this video I explain how Magnesium works for depression and anxiety.

    magnesium made me worse. I became lethargic and super depressed and felt too full all the time. I get a lot of magnesium from my diet, but I took it just in case I wasn't absorbing it. I wouldn't have expected it to make me feel worse so that sucks. I tend to have unusual responses to supplements. (like Vitamin D induces hypomania for me even when my levels were on the low end).

    Seriously everyone listen to her! I used to get severe anxiety attacks literally for no reason. I told the doctors and told them it wasn’t mental and my body was literally just having a panic attack when I wasn’t even stressed out if that makes sense. I started taking magnesium glycinate everyday and they went away in a week! 4 years still going strong.

    Veronica, so grateful you shared your experience with panic attacks. I needed to here that so much! I haven't tried adding magnesium yet but I'm likely deficient as my diet isn't terribly good. But my body has been acting as though I was having a panic attack even though I'm not mentally panicked. When I explained my elevated heart rate and sometimes spiking blood pressure to friends and even the doctor they said "that sounds like a panic attack" which I thought was a ridiculous notion. I rarely panic about much of anything. So you're commit here definitely made me reconsider that possibility. I guess I didn't realize exactly what a panic attack was. I'm definitely going try increasing my magnesium and also be a little more open minded about this panic attack stuff. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

    This right here!! This was me after a car accident. I NEVER had panic attacks or severe cognitive anxiety prior to it. The day after, I was balling my eyes out and literally laughing at the same time because I’m like mentally I’m perfectly fine but my body, as you said, was having an attack. Such a weird experience! I’d be totally fine, then out of nowhere my heart would race, I’d feel dizzy, hot, trembly, stomach in knots with absolutely no stimulus. I could be watching TV and then bam, panic attack. After weeks of dealing with that, I started taking magnesium supplements and it’s helped so much! Never had a panic attack since then either and this was also 4 years ago lol

    @@Benjamin-xv9le I've been working in NHS mental health services for about 30 years and I don't agree with your cynicism. RCTs are useful but there are a lot of politics involved- usually they are funded by organisations that seek a profit and unfortunately advising people how to eat healthily doesn't make a large profit in the way that antidepressants do. Consequently RCTs are often not carried out in this area. That doesn't mean attention to nutrition is misplaced. Dr Marks' video gave a concise and crystal-clear account of the science. It makes good sense for people to get their magnesium levels tested and to experiment with , say , supplementing with pumpkin seeds for a little while, and see whether that alleviates depression. Antidepressants do help quite a lot of people but they aren't the only way and learning about one's own nutritional needs can be an important part of the recovery process, which mainstream mental health professionals need to learn more about.

Both those with mental illness and those without need it, and it is difficult to get from food along even if you eat a completely healthy whole foods diet. I also take a form of magnesium called magnesium L-threonate, it crosses directly into the brain and helps with sleep memory focus and concentration it's very helpful. If you ever dive again into these more unconventional subjects for a psychiatrist I'll be more than happy to watch.

If you're not taking it regularly, you can probably notice that when you take it you feel less bloated. Many people also report feeling more calm, which is due to the enhancement of GABA

    After watching this video, I began taking 200mg of Magnesium Bisglycinate once daily. I can confirm that my anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and depression have all been greatly reduced. Prior to this, I was getting little to no Magnesium. My theory is that I was in fact Magnesium Defficient. Other things I've noticed is that I no longer have a foggy brain, and can Focus easier. It has allowed my current medications to be more effective. I no longer have Muscle Cramps or Joint pain. THANK YOU Dr. Marks. This video has been the causative agent in my being turned on to Magnesium Bisglycinate, and my life has improved dramatically as a result. It's like I have regained a part of myself that was lost for years. If your goal in making these videos is to help people, I want you to know that this one video has helped me more then 10 years of traditional medical attempts to treat my PTSD. Again, thank you so much.

    Not sure how much magnesium helped me but my panic and anxiety symptomps were very strongly reduced after taking ~800mg magnesium per day. Bisglycinate is also said to be excellent. I was taking a mix of oxide/lactate and bisglycinate. After about 1 month there was great progress, after 2 months symptoms were almost gone. This is after 6 months of suffering from anxiety and panic. The improvements lined up so well with magnesium that I'm convinced it helped. Maybe it's just placebo effect but sure as hell if placebo effect is actually useful in some health area it's psychology.

    Definetly an eye opener because I’ve been diagnosed with depression at gr.4 and we grew up poor so we never had a lot of the basic fruits, veggies… when we did- it was when parents where in a good mood the whole week. We just survived off of my moms job when she would bring home with free left over fried chicken every night from work and when I was hungry my dad would tell me to wait till mom gets home ( she would get home sometimes midnight) btw we would eat fried chicken every single day sometimes for breakfast dinner and lunch. So knowing this I can see how my poor nutrition growing up contributed to my mental health. Side note; even tho unhealthy, im greatful bc it saved me from a lot of hungry days. It wasn’t until I got my own job at 18 that I started buying healthier food and fruits/veggies

    I just tried to start taking magnesium because this reminded me of a few years ago when I was in the hospital for awhile and they found I had extremely low levels of magnesium. I started feeling better than I'd felt in decades and I thought it was because of the medicine to help the health issues that brought me there, but as time went on and I spent months and then years on that medication, I found myself right back where I was before mentally/physically/emotionally. Eight years later, I found this and thought that maybe the thing that made the real difference was the magnesium. My medication made it possible to live a normal life from a physical standpoint, but after just awhile of magnesium suddenly I feel like this buzzing unease that I could feel in my chest every second of every day is just not here anymore. I'm still needing to work on healthier sleeping habits, since I'm still up 5 hours before work, but it's going into Monday and I don't even feel a little stressed out about it. I spent the last 5 years being unable to focus on anything for all of Sunday because I needed to work the next morning, and I was certain in my mind that meant that I was going to fail the next morning. No matter how many times I succeeded, it was always going to be bad tomorrow. Now I can see what complete nonsense that was to the point I can't understand how I could think this way not just those 5 years, but for decades of my life. Something flipped a switch when I was a teenager and turned me into someone else, and I'm starting to feel like I'm finding that person I was before. I know this isn't everything and I need to go see someone, but I'd tried for nearly 15 years and I couldn't make myself do it and now I think that I can.

    I tried all the supplements .. Fish oil increased my panic attacks, fear, anxiety and social phobia .. I think magnesium was the only one that helped me when I took it, my heart was dying, I feel relaxed, no anxiety, no fatigue, no agoraphobia No heart palpitations from problems and thinking about the future. Good sleep. Magnesium is really a miracle.. I would like to go back to talking about fish oil. I noticed an improvement in my skin, but it did not help me with anxiety, palpitations, and the problems that I mentioned earlier.

    You are not imaging the detrimental effects of fish oil. A recent heart study showed that it can indeed cause heart palpitations. That experience can translate into the sensation of anxiety and panic. My sister had unexplained palpitations for years, which in itself caused her to worry. Stopped the fish oil -- no more palpitations. Unfortunately, her skin did get drier.

    I'm lucky I eat a lot of legumes and enjoy it so I get easily 3 to 4 times the daily value for magnesium without thinking, which is one less thing to worry about phew. If you struggle with anxiety as Dr Marks has described, consider tweaking your diet to include at least one meal of legumes a day, it could be peas, beans, lentils, tofu even peanuts, peanuts are both a legume and a nut. They are also high in fibre which helps a lot with gut health. Unsweetened cocoa powder and molasses are also very high in magnesium. A cup of cocoa with 1tbsp of each could be up to 100mg of magnesium I think. I often use cocoa in my coffee instead of milk because I like the taste of cocoa and coffee combined. Stay healthy everyone.
