These senses are closely tied to memory, emotion, and enjoyment of life. When they’re gone or changed, it can take a real toll on mental health. This month, let’s shine a light on how smell and taste loss affects emotional well-being — and why support and understanding matter.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Losing your sense of smell or taste doesn’t just affect how you eat — it can impact how you feel. Many people with smell or taste dysfunction experience anxiety, depression, or isolation.

The olfactory nerve is highly vulnerable in head trauma, and damage can lead to anosmia (loss of smell), parosmia (distorted smell), or hyposmia (reduced smell). For many, smell loss often goes unnoticed in brain injury recovery, delaying diagnosis and support.

When food doesn’t taste or smell the way it should, people may unintentionally eat too little, overeat, or avoid nutritious foods altogether. This can lead to weight changes, malnutrition, and even a lower quality of life.
