Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is a natural stress response and can be advantageous under certain circumstances. It can act as a warning signal of potential threats and assist us in preparing and remaining vigilant. Anxiety disorders differ from ordinary nervousness or dread as they involve excessive fear or apprehension. These disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, particular phobias, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, and separation anxiety disorder.
Depression
Depression (major depressive disorder/MDD) is a common mood disorder with a wide range of symptoms that can adversely affect how you feel, think, and behave. Symptoms may range from mild to severe and may include feeling sad, a lack of interest in activities formerly enjoyed, weight changes, tiredness, suicidal thoughts, and more.
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Nutrition and Mental Health
Nutritional Balanced = Balanced Behavior
Healthy eating can make you feel better, improve your quality of life, and have a key role in preventing and treating various diseases and mental illnesses. Nutritional psychiatry links what you eat, drink and how it impacts your emotions, mood, and mental health.
Evidenced-based studies have shown a strong connection between the brain and the gut. Serotonin (the feel-good neurotransmitter) helps regulate mood, sleep patterns, and appetite. It is one of the most important neurotransmitters influencing mental health. Most of our serotonin is produced in the gut and intestines. The food we eat can have a positive or negative effect because they interact with the neurotransmitter in our digestive system.
At BMIC, we provide education on digestive wellness, including nutritional recommendations and supplements to address nutrient deficiencies. Further, we encourage you to take a mindful approach to meals and suggest lifestyle modifications, improved sleep hygiene, and healthy body weight for overall mental well-being. If you require intensive nutritional support, we recommend contacting a registered nutritionist specializing in Functional Nutrition.
