Who is Lo Bosworth? You're probably thinking, right? Well, if you remember me talking about how obsessed I was with the TV show The Hills, she was one of the stars and BFF with my idol Lauren Conrad. 

She has opened up about why she went quiet throughout most of 2016, due to her depression and anxiety. To give you a brief outline she started to suffer from low mood at the end of 2015, going into 2016 it got significantly worse. Her mood wasn't improving and anxiety and depression began to take over her life. She was put on anti-depressants, they didn't work. So she kept going back to her doctor, they couldn't work out why her health wasn't improving. In the end she asked for blood tests to see if the problem was more than just her mental health. Turns out she was suffering from a low vitamin deficiency. Vitamin B12 and D. Being deficient can result in depression, anxiety, fatigue, headaches and a lot of other uncomfortable symptoms. She soon found out that if you leave the deficiencies untreated they can result in permanent damage, like brain damage. Yep, I know crazy right?

In the video she talks about what she did next, how she could help herself and take back control. From research, to doctors prescriptions and daily vitamins.

I was so shocked on how something like a vitamin deficiency can have such an impact on your mental health/well being. But after watching the video, it makes sense. It's also made me re-think some things and I am definitely going to mention this to my doctor. A lot of her symptoms and emotions I can relate to, so I guess it wouldn't hurt in finding a little bit more out.

It's worth a watch! See below ☺

Also, thank you to Lo Bosworth for sharing her story, well done for speaking up about your mental health. What an inspiration! ✌
