Depressed After Flu by Jane Thurnell-Read

Many people find that after a bout of flu they end up feeling depressed.

I have found that people in this situation often benefit from taking a good B complex supplement. B vitamins can play an important role in countering irritability, tiredness, depression, muscle weakness and general listlessness.

People often also feel depressed after taking a course of antibiotics. Unfortunately many antibiotics kill the good bugs in the intestine. Some of you may be surprised to know that there are helpful bacteria present in our guts. These produce some of the B vitamins, and these vitamins are then absorbed back into the body. A course of B vitamins may be appropriate to help your body get back on track while the healthy bacteria population builds up again.
