I have horrible brain fog when my thyroid is not on point. I have anxiety outside of my PCOS diagnosis but the #1 thing that helped my anxiety was Vitamin D supplements. It is critical for the production of serotonin.
I take effexor and zoloft for my anxiety, but I can tell when my anxiety spikes that its diet or hormones.
They diagnosed me with adult ADHD but I have to wonder how much is really my adrenals and hormones......🤔
