Robbie Williams has talked about an unexpected and concerning turn in his health . He has said? that his battle with depression got so bad that he was diagnosed with scurvy, a condition that was once thought to solely affect sailors. He also called it "pirate disease of the 17th century."
In an interview with the Mirror, Williams provided an update on his health, stating that he had been experiencing mental health issues in the previous months before learning of his diagnosis.
Robbie Williams revealed that the year began on a difficult note as he experienced a decline in his mental health,? something he hadn't faced in a very long time. He admitted to feeling ¡°sad, anxious, and depressed,¡± emotions that were all too familiar from his earlier years. He was first diagnosed with depression in his twenties, and after a long period of stability, its sudden return left him feeling confused.?
?¡°I thought I was at the other end of the arc,¡± Williams said. Williams started to wonder that his food might be a contributing factor to his mental condition as he attempted to identify the underlying problem. He acknowledged that he stopped eating healthily, which had left him deficient in vital nutrients. He was eventually diagnosed with scurvy, which he described as a "pirate disease of the 17th century."
Williams said that his depression and physical health improved once he made the required dietary adjustments. "The most important thing is for yourself to be okay," he stated.?
According to MedlinePlus, Scurvy is brought on by a lack of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. Even while it is uncommon nowadays, it can still happen, particularly in people who have bad eating habits. Symptoms of the illness include bruising, poor wound healing, bleeding gums, and weariness. Malnutrition, substance addiction (such as alcoholism), a diet deficient in fruits and vegetables, and extremely rigid diets deficient in vital nutrients are common reasons.?
