Last time I blogged I described a cause of depression and anxiety that runs in the family. It’s known as the Mauve factor or kryptopyrrole. Today I’m going to discuss some of the physical symptoms that you may experience if you have high levels of the mauve factor.

Symptoms of the Mauve Factor

Individuals that are High-Mauve, no matter what their clinical diagnoses are (i.e. depression, anxiety, autism, schizophrenia), have many common physical signs and symptoms that seem unrelated to their mental health concerns. These indicators are often ‘tell-tale’ signs for being high-Mauve, and can help decide whether it is worth testing for the Mauve factor as a cause for your depression.

Common symptoms of the Mauve Factor include:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Acne
  • Allergies
  • Delayed puberty
  • Dyslexia
  • Morning nausea
  • Infertility (in both men and women)
  • Frequent miscarriages
  • Knee and joint pain
  • Stress intolerance
  • Stretch marks
  • Pale skin
  • White spots in finger nails.

High levels of Mauve are also known to run in families. If your family has a history of mental health conditions and/or many of the common symptoms listed above, I encourage you to investigate this topic further and get tested for the Mauve Factor.

All the best.
