5 Organic Causes of Mood Disturbance

Cardiology consultant Dr. Khalid Al-Nimr explained that there are 5 organic reasons that negatively affect mood, "disturbing the mood." Al-Nimr mentioned that these reasons include high blood pressure, insufficient water intake, high blood sugar, sluggish thyroid gland, and lack of sleep. He advises taking the thyroid hormone medication "levothyroxine" on an empty stomach, noting that taking it with food or coffee reduces its absorption rate from the gastrointestinal tract by 15% with food and 30% with coffee.
