    Wow 3 years to be so seriously affected by B12 deficiency!? That was quick?
    I don’t think that’s normal. B12 is essential, but I would have thought the detrimental effects would take longer to reach that level.

      If you don’t get any intake of B12, it takes a few years. But there are symptoms before going insane… You need to be completely deaf to your body’s screaming signs to actually die from it.

        The death was suicide. So not directly from B12 deficiency, but from mental illness most likely caused by B12 deficiency.
