“Iron and the Brain: The Overlooked Link Between Iron Deficiency and Mental Health in Young Women” — by Shematologist

Shematologist posted on X:

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, it is essential to highlight a critical yet often underrecognized fact:

”Iron is indispensable for the synthesis of key neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine.
However, nearly 40% of females aged 12–21 are iron deficient, and the majority remain unaware of their condition.”
”This alarming prevalence of undiagnosed iron deficiency during adolescence—a period crucial for cognitive and emotional development—underscores the need for routine screening and targeted public health strategies.”
”Iron isn’t just about hemoglobin—it’s about mental well-being, motivation, and neurological function.”
