Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Epsom salt is considered to be useful against depression, anxiety and mood swings. But considering the other health problems if Epsom salt is consumed daily, the usage is largely discouraged. Occasional intake may only be suitable for depression and anxiety. Therefore, please do not indulge in self diagnosis and self medication. Much better ways like meditation, psychotherapy are also good.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
