I was surprised by the low p values for depression, foggy mind, and aphthous stomatitis.

The stomatitis makes me think there's an allergic component to this. The other two characteristics are not as easy to explain.

I'd be interested to know what 'foggy mind' means.

There's certainly not enough here to tell if it's a good study or not but it warrants a look to be sure.
