Can iron deficiency/anemia cause depression and teariness? i was anemic a few months ago and am v. exhausted again but also depression has got worse..

No. It doesn't. : It can make you feel exhausted and depression can make you feel the same way. Both conditions need to be treated separately. Hope this helps.
