Loss of Memory & Depression
Memory loss [12] is one of the most serious signs of calcium deficiency. Over time, hypocalcemia can cause brain damage and cause neurological or psychological symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, delirium, hallucinations, and depression. If the calcium level is restored, these symptoms will vanish. Calcium ions play an important role in the process of sending nerve signals. When the body lacks calcium, nerve stimulation meets a resistance mechanism in the human body that prevent the consolidation of memory and proper neurological functioning.
Depression is caused by various factors, including age, lifestyle factors, menopause, alcohol consumption habits, and so on hat are believed to negatively contribute to depression. Calcium and magnesium are believed to be associated with mental illnesses such as depression, but few studies [13] have examined the relationship between calcium and magnesium diet status in middle-aged female adults with depression. In nervous system disorders, such as depression and dementia, calcium dysregulation is an important factor. Calcium acts as a neurotransmitter in the metabolism of the body; in the past, a causal relation has been suggested between cellular calcium disturbances and significant mood disorders. The excitability of neuromuscular tissues involved in emotional control can be influenced [14] by changes in blood plasma calcium concentration.
