Can anxiety be a symptom of a vitamin deficiency?

[Apeksha]

Hey, I am having a lot of anxiety attacks lately despite taking pills. The doctor told me that anxiety could be the reason for vitamin deficiency. Is it true?

@apeksha Hello, Yes Being deficient in certain minerals and vitamins can affect your physical and mental energy, your body's health along the biochemical balance in your brain, resulting in anxiety or increasing the levels you're currently experiencing. Having a vitamin D deficiency could also be linked with anxiety disorders. Before changing diet and exercising or changing your lifestyle it’s a good idea to speak to a doctor.
