The B vitamins are an essential support to the nervous system. B12 has been known to help patients who suffer with depression.
I first became fascinated with the B vitamins while attending a wellness group at Illinois Masonic Hospital. It was a support group for women who had experienced a major health crisis. There was one woman attending because of suffering with Bipolar, and I learned from her how she faithfully takes all her Be everyday. I was attending the group as a survival from a ruptured brain aneurysm.
