Attention: Psychiatrists : Can caffeine disturb the levels of Neurotransmitters ?
I used tea (caffeine) for 7 years at a young age when i was hardly 10 years old and then i suffered from mental fuzziness , lack of concentration especially on books, sleepiness condition in 1999 when i was 16 years old. An year later,i suffered from weakness in my body . I carried on with these symptoms . Weakness in my body increased rapidly . I went to many doctors but couldnt diagnose and some mistreated me. After 8 years when was 24 (2006) , doctors advised me to consult psychiatrist. The psychiatrists initally gave me many anti depressants but it didnt work out and made the situation more worst. Now i have consulted a psychiatrist doctor who says , it all happened coz of caffeine and it disturbed your neurotransmitters levels in brain which became the reason for all symptoms. Can disturbed neurotransmitters produce these conditions including weakness ? Is my doctor right ?My Vitamin D deficiency level is very low and at severe level. Plz reply in detail.Thanks

No, that’s crap.

Caffeine has big effects on the central nervous system, including changing levels of neurotransmitters and their receptors. It is possible that ingesting caffeine during vital stages of brain development when you were younger altered how your body developed its central nervous system (i.e., you may have an abnormal CNS as an adult due to your body adapting to the abnormal caffeine intake when it was still developing).
However, I really don’t think your psychiatrist should be telling that your past caffeine intake is DEFINITELY why you are feeling like this. There’s no way s/he can know that for sure and other possibilities should be pursued.
