Psychosis from Malnutrition? Possible TW for ED

I struggle with maintaining a healthy weight. It’s always easier for me to not eat, than it is to get the motivation to cook something.

I’m wondering if my history of malnutrition could have influenced my psychosis? Even if it was just from low blood sugar??

My psychosis was triggered by malnutrition and not sleeping.

@anon25523312 I think that was the same for me. Stress, malnutrition, insomnia

It might have triggered it but most likely didn’t cause it.

There is a well publicised event in the Netherlands after ww2 where starvation led to a spike in sz cases. This article is from 2017 so I’d be interested in later work if it was still relevant.

Yes, lack of nutrition can cause psychosis.

Malnutrition leads to stress. Stress increases risk of psychosis according to my experience aswell as my care nurse.

I thought that veganism is good for me but it really might not be, after all.

@rogueone That’s really interesting, I’ll have to look into it!

It was just a random thought I had, but it’s interesting to see how many people relate! :slight_smile:

That’s a good point.
