My girlfriend has treatment resistant depression. Most of her life doctors prescribed SSRI based drugs which didn't really work. A lot of money was also spent on psychiatrist for CBT. Based on a youtube videos and blogpost, read about 5HTP.
I think 5htp supplements really works in cases where depression is genetic or the depression exists since childhood, where the cause of depression is not known. You can actually see the result and change in personality within few week. I think 5HTP should be the first medication before any other psychoactive medications are consumed.
- jonnycomputer 9y agoDepression is such a broad spectrum disorder (or put another way, a highly variable cluster of symptoms), that its hard to generalize in any way.
- pgt 9y agoBeware that 5HTP can cause mitral heart valve damage due to accumulated serotonin in the periphery. Combine with green tea extract (EGCG) to reduce your risk.
