I don't actually want to do that, I probably shouldn't have worded that comment the way I did.
What I wanted to point out is that a large part of mental illness prevention would be, well, figuring out how to subject people less to situations which create it. It's probably more effective than supplements.
- Mz 10y agoMental illness has two components. Brain chemistry or health is one. Social crap is the other. The article addresses a factor in the first category. Even if someone is treated extremely well, if their brain is impaired by nutritonal deficiency or disease, they won't think right. These are both important factors and not really interchangeable. You have a valid point with regards to mistreatment being causative. But being kind does not cure nutrient deficiencies per se. Supplements can cure that piece.
