I just found out last year that i have a MTHFR mutation myself and this pretty much sums up my life up until then. Doctors, psychs had no idea and I tried so many pharmaceutical combinations.
I also had an underlying thyroid issue. I do wish testing for MTHFR gene defects and looking at thyroid performance were more common steps to take before psychiatric medications are prescribed.
- johnchristopher 11y agoI am considering getting some check-up on the thyroid. It's really easier to get some anti-depressants from a GP than getting this checked and it's not normal considering my generation had the Chernobyl cloud over our collective head in our childhood.
