How does salmonella effect your mental health?

Salmonella poisoning is an extremely serious illness that affects the whole body in a variety of ways. It means, among other things, that proper nutrition and absorption of medications will be impossible for the duration of the acute stage, and it can affect the body's internal chemistry by interfering with organ function.

Especially in the case of chronic metabolic diseases like Diabetes, it can cause an alteration of the ways that glucose is metabolized, and that alone can cause psychological changes. A drinker or drug user who has lost access to the drugs may suffer withdrawal and severe emotional and physical problems along with it.

The good news: it shouldn't be permanent. If it seems to be, it is time to get with a doctor for a good physical and psychosocial workup. It is quite possible that a condition that was formerly masked has been revealed by the illness.
