Hi,
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause a range of symptoms including fatigue, weakness, and depression. When B12 levels are low, the body may not be able to produce enough red blood cells, which can lead to anemia and further exacerbate symptoms. Treatment typically involves B12 injections or oral supplements to bring B12 levels back to normal.
It's possible that the depression symptoms you are experiencing after treatment are related to the B12 deficiency itself, rather than the treatment. In some cases, people with B12 deficiency may continue to experience symptoms even after treatment. However, it's also possible that the depression symptoms are unrelated to the B12 deficiency and may require further evaluation.
If you are still experiencing depression symptoms after B12 treatment, it's important to talk to your doctor about your concerns. They may recommend further evaluation or treatment options, such as therapy or antidepressant medication. Additionally, it's important to continue to follow up with your doctor to monitor your B12 levels and make sure you are receiving appropriate treatment for any ongoing deficiency.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
