When a person experiences sepsis, it can negatively impact their mental state. The reason for this is due to the fact that sepsis occurs as the body’s response to an infection, releasing chemicals into the blood in order to attempt to prevent further infection. As a result, chemicals are released into the bloodstream, which can impair blood flow to the brain and also keep the brain from getting necessary nutrients and oxygen.
