Depression might not be a mental disorder. It could be a biological deficiency. Here’s the science: 90% of serotonin (the mood neurotransmitter) is made in the gut, not the brain. To make serotonin, your body needs to convert tryptophan through a process called methylation. If you can’t methylate properly,...

5 Hidden Causes of Depression 1. Deficiencies: vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones. 2. Inflammation: localized and systemic. 3. Infections: bacteria, mold, yeast, and even tick bites. 4. Toxicity: mercury, cadmium, plastics and more. 5. Trauma: physical and emotional.

Why magnesium? Because it's integral to 600+ biochemical bodily processes. But most magnesium products are hard to absorb due to their low dosage. Some are only 10% magnesium per dose. 🔥 Wild Mag Complex has 90% elemental magnesium in each serving. 450mg of 500!

I was able to get off the meds through Whole Foods, proper vitamins and exercise. Changed a lot of things just reading these posts and vids from Gary. Man I feel better than ever.

And meanwhile the CDC page called “MTHFR Gene Variant and Folic Acid Facts” says, “You may have heard that if you have a an MTHFR variant, you should avoid folic acid and should take other types of folate, such as 5-MTHF. However, this is not true.” I’m at the point where if the CDC says something, probably the polar opposite is the truth. 😖

Tryptophan gets hydroxylated then decarboxylated. 2 step pathway with 2 separate enzymes. Not sure methylation is the correct term here as no methyl groups are involved.

Gary Brecka just flipped everything we’ve been told about depression: We’re told low serotonin causes depression, so we take SSRIs to “fix” it. But Brecka says SSRIs don’t raise serotonin — they just ration what little you have. 90% of your serotonin is made in your gut from tryptophan. If your gut or methylation is off, your brain never gets what it needs. Research shows that gut bacteria play a key role in serotonin production — up to 90% of the body’s supply is synthesized in the intestines, not the brain. He argues many mood disorders (depression, anxiety, ADHD, ruminating thoughts) may actually start in the gut — not the brain. This shifts the conversation from lifelong meds to fixing root causes. Real hope for people who’ve been struggling. This one really made sense to me. I’ve seen how gut issues can tank mood and energy. The idea that we might be able to support natural serotonin production feels way more empowering. What do you think — could gut health and methylation be a bigger piece of mood disorders than we’ve been told?

Many mental health issues could be nutrient deficiencies in disguise. Gary Brecka pointed to the methylation cycle on JRE, B vitamins, tryptophan, tyrosine, and other nutrients are essential for making serotonin and dopamine. Low serotonin? Mood problems. Low dopamine? Addiction risk. A Harvard physician saw better results with diet and supplementation than drugs for resistant cases. Methylation is a biochemical process occurring 300 billion times a day in your cells, converting nutrients into neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Deficiencies in B vitamins or amino acids can disrupt this, contributing to mood disorders and addiction. A thought-provoking look at root causes.

Gary Brecka drops a key biohack: "Every single person should be on a methylated multivitamin—at minimum." Why? Methylation powers neurotransmitter production—turning tryptophan → serotonin, phenylalanine/tyrosine → dopamine. Without the right raw materials (active forms like methylfolate/5-MTHF & methylcobalamin/B12), conversions stall → neurotransmitter shortages → mood issues, low energy, "mental unfitness" (not illness). Standard multis often use synthetic folic acid/cyanocobalamin—poorly converted, especially with MTHFR variants. Methylated versions are bioavailable, ready-to-use for brain, mood, energy, detox. Brecka: Deficiencies mimic mental health problems; fix the biology first. Short clip nails it—simple upgrade for peak mental fitness.

Psychiatry manufactured an epidemic of patients and sold it as medicine. Thomas Szasz spent his career proving we have an epidemic of psychiatry, not mental illness, because behavior control was never science or medicine. In 1961, he published The Myth of Mental Illness and showed that mental illness is a metaphor, not a literal disease like a broken bone or infection. For decades, the field explained depression as a chemical imbalance that pills could fix, and Szasz called the whole story a myth. But a 2022 review led by psychiatrist Joanna Moncrieff found no consistent evidence for the specific serotonin theory behind it. Szasz summed up his life’s work by naming what was happening: the psychiatrization of the whole culture. And it is still expanding, one diagnosis at a time.

👇🏽 MENTAL ILLNESS IS AN EFFECT, NOT THE ROOT CAUSE - Before anything shows up in the body, it begins in the invisible. - Metaphysics is the cause. Physics is the effect. - For years I practiced psychiatry in LA. I prescribed the meds. I followed the protocols. - But after experiencing nearly every diagnosis myself, I saw something we weren’t addressing. - We were adjusting serotonin and dopamine… - But never asking why the signal was distorted in the first place. - It’s like trying to scratch a photograph while ignoring the negative that created it. - That’s why so many cycle through meds, side effects, hospitalizations… without touching the root. - So I left. - And I devoted my life to a new paradigm of mental health that addresses the unseen drivers beneath depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, even Alzheimer’s. - There are tools that work. There are ways to treat the root. - That’s why I wrote a book "The Spiritual Guide to Mental Health" - If you or someone you love wants a different lens, one that goes deeper than symptom management Comment "BOOK" and I’ll send you a free copy!

I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!! Proof that in 2026, the same falsehoods are still being used - despite us all being told that psychiatrists never use the brain chemical imbalance myth. In 2022, Moncrieff et al. published a major umbrella review finding no convincing evidence that depression is caused by low serotonin or a serotonin “chemical imbalance.” Psychiatrists actually responded defensively by saying ‘no one believed that anyway!!’ Courts should not be told that someone’s behaviour, violence or offending can be explained by a supposed serotonin imbalance as though this is established biological fact. When outdated or unsupported psychiatric theories are presented as scientific explanations in criminal trials, they risk misleading judges and juries and turning complex human behaviour into a simplistic story about a broken brain. A courtroom is no place for debunked neuroscience and psychiatric twaddle. Secondly though - those of us who are critical of psychiatry are told that this theory was never pushed and people were never told that they have a brain chemical imbalance! I’ve even been told that I’m making this up, and patients have never been told this by psychiatrists. So I’m posting this for proof in 2026 that this is still being used in a criminal trial. By a psychiatrist. For those of you new to this information and didn’t know that the serotonin theory was ‘abandoned’ - this is because psychiatrists and psychiatric regulatory bodies never publicly corrected the information even once they knew it was wrong. Lots of doctors are still telling their patients that they have serotonin brain chemical imbalances every single day. It is highly likely that our ‘mental health’ is not the result of some obscure brain chemical imbalance, but is instead a reaction to our circumstances - but maybe that’s not a sexy enough explanation.

ANOTHER FAIL FOR GAVIN NEWSOM. Would you let your daughter feel out a form called "Mental Health Accommodation Request". If your daughter doesn't accept wanting a boy in her bathroom or undress in front of a boy - then the girl is deemed mentally deranged, but not the boy who is pretending to be a girl. The Left will not acknowledge that the boy pretending to be a girl has a mental illness called Gender Dysphoria - Unbelievable.

“What’s happening now is the mental illness is becoming valorized.” Developmental psychologist J.D. Haltigan says mental illness is increasingly being turned into an identity people embrace. “Mental illness as identity is really something that is coming on.” “I have a disorder, I am defined by that disorder, and I’m some sort of a heroic person for having this disorder.” “It’s really happening across the disorders… mostly for depression and anxiety.” “It’s become so destigmatized that there is no stigma.” “You see this a lot on social media… if you claim you have a mood disorder, you get a lot of affirmation for that.” “That feeds back into it… and you get into this sort of niche group that valorizes it and affirms it.” “That’s not really helpful treatment to eliminate the disorder.” J.D. Haltigan, PhD 🏒👨‍💻

For decades we were told depression is a chemical imbalance. A lack of serotonin that a pill puts right. Dr. Joanna Moncrieff and her colleagues went looking for the proof. "We showed that there is no consistent or convincing evidence in any of these areas of research for any association between serotonin and depression." They published it as an umbrella review in 2022, pulling together every major area of research linking serotonin to depression. It didn't hold up. "So hence, the idea is a myth."

And the TRUTH is, if you're a biological man who believes he's a woman trapped in the wrong body, you're delusional. Don't be afraid to call it what it is. It is a mental illness that is turning deadly.
