I remember 4 years ago I experienced depression, initially, I thought it was just me not being happy of a sudden pregnancy after my second child who was just under two years. Mentally, psychologically, health-wise I wasn’t prepared, gradually I lost appetite, became so moody, and slipped into depression by each day. Eventually, I realized that calcium and magnesium (calmag) is some of the minerals/vitamins that I needed to be able to help me. Don’t be isolated, speak to your close friends, families, and doctors, seek help early. Do not contemplate suicide as you will leave your loved ones in deeper pain.
