Or even general blood screenings. I once went to the doctor for depression that was severe enough to affect work and marriage. I was fortunate that the doctor tested for B12 deficiency, a week of methylated b12 supplementation fully fixed my depression which hasn't returned in years.
Turns out there is a genetic component to B12 deficiency, and other family members have been turning up with the same kind of thing.
I wonder how many people get driven into expensive medication and treatment programs for relatively simple to treat vitamin/metabolic disorders.
- podgaj 6y agoAll true. I can’t tell you how many women I know we’re suffering from “depression” and then they found out they were severely iron deficient. In my opinion, all mood disorders are metabolic disorders so that’s what frustrates me about it all.
