Odd statement. The blood forming system in your body does so no matter how your brain functions. If mental illness triggered poor dietary choices that starved the system of needed nutrients it may be a factor in anemia. The same lack of nutrients can lead to nerve damage. You need to discuss this all with your regular physician. Both issues can likely be fixed.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. You ought to consult a doctor. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
