And this is what I hate about these article, they leave people out in the cold who are suffering. Start with getting your genetics, your full genome if you can afford it. This is something that saved my life. Could be something as simple as

There are no diseases, only symptoms. We can name diseases forever but that gets us nowhere. They just have more depression, or are more depressed. By the way, why don't people get SSRI's when they are depressed with a flu? I mean

Yeah, I agree. But the signal is still the disorder that needs to be fixed. Any psychiatrist will tell you that psychiatric medications only treat the symptoms of mood disorders and that they do not know the cause of most of them. It is hog

Yeah, I agree with that distinction. This is am important semantic discussion. But he just changed the name of the thing he wants to get rid of from "pain" to "signal". The signal is still a disorder. The signal is the t

But you see, I was hospitalized several times for my mood disorder. I have come to find out that there was an objective external cause of that as well. The problem is not with the psychiatric "cures", the problem is the psychiatri

Thank you, yes, I said the same thing in another reply. I am Bipolar getting by without meds. I do not have a disorder, I have a difference. So I need to live and eat differently.

Do you realize these two sentences say the same exact thing? You have a pain, which is a signal of a disorder, and you need to change something to fix it. "At first I viewed the depression I started fighting in my teens as a scourge, a

And who is to say CBT does not effect chemicals in the brain and body! Of course it does! everything environmental effects the chemicals in our body. If you give someone meth they will have anxiety, if you drink too much you will have depre

This is like saying people with heart disease do not have a disease because they stopped eating poorly and the heart disease went away. You did have a metal disorder. You were just lucky to find the cause. The cause was job stress. I have a

As someone on disability with a mood disorder I can say without reservation that that article was mostly horrible. I will agree with them that there is a mismatch, but the mismatch is between each individuals genetics and environment. so th

Yes, both carbonate and orate. The carbonate, well that flattened me out of course, but it did not make me feel as good as I do now. (Which is not that good but much much better.) The ortate I took as an experiment wen I was more recently d

I would start by getting your full genome run, or at least get it from Ancestry. Then learn how to look at the low frequency SNPs. I am lucky as I live near UNC Chapel Hill that has several departments looking into this stuff. The supplemen

Magnesium will reduce ATP Since it is a cofactor for the ATPases. Less ATP means less anxiety.

They were not studying people with depression and anxiety, it was a general population. So this might work for people in general, but not with people with depression and anxiety. Participants were 3,294 community-dwelling adults ages 45.62

> This study outlines some things that are typically helpful. It does not say that they will be helpful or possible for everyone. Agreed, but what do you do if it does not help them. THAT is the problem.

Appeal to authority much? I just told you they were wrong about me during my 30 years of treatment. They thought I had a mood disorder but I had a metabolic disorder. so in this case, yes, they knew less than I did.
