I don't think that justifies saying its often mitochondira. it doesnt explain why in the first place. it sounds like the depression is caused by an chemical imbalance thing. i dont think you can make sweeping judgements like that and say something like just take some vitamins and youll be cured

  OP talked about burnout which is seen as a lack of mental energy. Mitochondria would be the first thing to look at when it comes to energy as it's a "power plant" that makes cells work.

    I think you should read a little of what burnout actually is instead of supplement pseudoscience

      You are accusing me of following pseudoscience yet I am the only person in this conversation to actually post scientific links...

        You already expressed you don't understand what causes burnout and what experience is like. It's not just mental energy. Go read about mental health and how people actually experience. I'm not here to educate you

        Could you please stop posting unsubstantive and flamewar comments? You did that quite a bit in this thread and unfortunately have been doing it elsewhere too. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

        Did someone go through my post history and just flag a bunch of posts? This guy is giving out mental health advice based on not understanding what he is talking about. I think that is dangerous and isn't a place for being polite.

        Yes, I did, because you've been breaking the site guidelines. We need you to follow HN's rules regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are. Could you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to them going forward? We'd appreciate it.

        Even for unsubstantiated health claims and telling people to go and take unknown supplements? Would you prefer a comment like that gets flagged? I get the guidelines for inconsequential topics, but pretending something is valid when engaging with something that could be harmful seems like its elevating its legitimacy. In this case there is plenty of reading to do on the topic of burnout causes. I guess the simplest answer from you would be the answer to this question. If i posted something encouraging people to not take vaccines, how does that discussion get handled? Does every comment and thought really get treated equally with curious responses? I guess to me it seems fair to, be short direct and point out the misinformation even if it appears to be flaming
