A study among seven hundred women above the age of sixty-five found a clear correlation between depression and B12 deficiency. The more severe the depression, the higher the correlation.

The lack of support from physicians causes great stress to MCS patients, and when the MCS patient is prescribed conventional medicine to treat certain symptoms, the situation could even get worse in reaction to the medicine. Treatment with antidepressants — used because the doctor thinks the condition is psychosomatic — can cause other serious health problems, according to the experience ofMCS patients and specific research (see entry 21 about which therapies are found to be helpful). 

Alternatively, stress theories are adopted fiom industrial, social, and persortality psychology (Kahrr, 1981 Karasek Theorell, 1990 Lazarus Folkman, 1984). Stress theories describe the relatiortship between person and envirorrmerrt. The evaluation of the sitrration (Lazarus Folkman, 1984) or the perceived controllability of the sitrration (Karasek Theorell, 1990) is central in these theories. Stress research examines the work-health relationship by investigating the influence of the work envirorrment on well-beirrg, psychosomatic complaints, and health risks.
