As part of medication, a doctor may prescribe 80 mg of Zinc, since the chemical imbalance in the body of a schizophrenic person results in its elimination.
As well, mutlivitamins with a higher amount of B vitamins may be prescribed since they help with an enhanced metabolism.
As well, anorexia nervosa depletes zinc and leads to a worsening of the disease.
What this means is that the stress and resultant mania and psychosis that may accompany anorexia nervosa is partly due to zinc deficiency.
Since cortisol levels are increased during stress, zinc is probably used in the metabolic pathways, especially that of the endocrine system.
Thus malnutrition and starvation may lead to impairment of the endocrine system.
