Can allergies<\/a> affect your mood<\/strong>?<\/p>\n You bet they can!<\/p>\n For a start, they can lead the negative basic emotions such as anger. They can also lead to depression, mood swings, irritability, lack of motivation, frustration, and a general deterioration of emotional health and well-being.<\/p>\n Choose a negative emotion, and there is a good chance that allergies can cause it or make it worse.<\/p>\n In my own experience, insomnia is one allergy symptom<\/a>, which in itself can can lead to many of the above problems with mood.<\/p>\n The purpose of this article is not so that you can blame your bad mood or social faux paus on your allergies. What I hope might be possible for you is that if you find there is a connection between allergies and your mood, that you will address your allergies and improve your mood.<\/p>\n Another way of looking at this is that if you do find that your mood chronically needs improving, maybe you should look at allergies<\/a> and sensitivities as one possible cause.<\/p>\n Knowing the cause may also help you deal with your mood directly. If you discover that your bad moods are caused by eating gluten<\/a> for example, and you find you have inadvertently eaten some, you can develop the mental capacity to put yourself in a more positive mental outlook (or at least a less negative one) until the symptoms<\/a> pass.<\/p>\n Since mood<\/strong> and emotions<\/strong> are closely linked, if not a different way of looking at the same thing, it stands to reason that your emotional balance can be severely affected by allergic symptoms.<\/p>\n Since mood can affect your judgment and ability to make decisions, allergy symptoms<\/a> can cause poor decision making, or indecisiveness.<\/p>\n When I feel under the weather, I put off all important decisions if at all possible. This is not procrastination. It is a strategy that allows me to recover to a state where I can make sound decisions. I recommend this to anyone, no matter what the cause of your bad mood.<\/p>\n Allergies can affect your mood They can lead the negative basic emotions such as anger.
