Iron Deficiency Linked to Psychiatric Disorders in Kids
Children and adolescents with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are at increased risk for psychiatric disorders, including depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, and autism, new research shows.
“When encountering those with IDA in clinical practice, prompt iron supplementation should be considered to prevent possible psychiatric sequelae, and vice versa, psychiatrists should check the iron level in those children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders,” study author Ya-Mei Bai, MD, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Taipei Veterans General Hospital and National Yang-Ming University, in Taiwan, told Medscape Medical News.
The study was published online June 4 in BMC Psychiatry.
