Brain fog encompasses symptoms like fatigue, concentration difficulties, memory issues, and mood problems (anxiety/depression) often following infections. Contributing factors include:
1. Gut Microbiome Disruption: Affects serotonin production.
2. Blood-Brain Barrier Damage: Infections can alter circulation and allow inflammatory molecules into the brain.
Treatment aims to calm the nervous system, support cell membrane health, promote healthy sleep, and repair the blood-brain barrier. A comprehensive approach targeting serotonin levels and overall brain health can help alleviate cognitive and mood symptoms post-infection.
