Depression has to be one of the most misunderstood health problems in our society. Tens of millions of people live each day in a fog of depression, negativity and lack of enthusiasm for life. We all know someone who has struggled with depression and seen its negative impact on the family, career and quality of life. Even today millions of Americans are still prescribed SSRI drugs each year, despite the fact that they are no more effective than a placebo sugar pill (according to the Journal of the American Medical Association). Luckily it doesn’t have to be that way!

How about anxiety and panic attacks? Where do they fit in all this? I have sibo, candida, mthfr and dont know where to start. Have you worked with anyone having random panic attacks? I started having them all of the sudden last year and my life has been miserable ever since. I am positive it has something to do with all conditions metioned above but none of the NDs i have seen so far were able to help 🙁
Hi MM,
Thanks for your comment. Yes I work with patients with panic attacks on a daily basis. Its all connected. Gut infections produce organic chemicals that clog your liver and make the half-life of dopamine and adrenalin last much longer which causes anxiety, panic, worry, insomnia, heart palpitations, etc. It also lowers serotonin and raises quinolinic acid at the same time. What a bummer! But it doesn’t have to be that way. We work with the gut and methylation/neurotransmitter cycles at the same time for better results. Please reach out and contact my office if you would like our assistance in unraveling your health challenge. We can be reached at 208-322-7755 and care@redmountainclinic.com.

I can’t take antidepressants because they all cause bone loss and I have osteoporosis. What can I do?
Hello Dr. Rostenberg
I’m astonished with all your videos and posts. My girlfriend has a mix between depression and anxiety disorder, she has very low serotonin, and the doctor put her into duloxetine and clorazepate, she has the bad version of TPH2, and by seeing your explanation of pellagra, something made click on me because she has a big skin red patch between the chest and the neck, just like the photos of the Pellagra.
She has COMM and FUT2, but she has green on MTHFR
I know she could be better by taking things increase serotonin, but when she try to put aside her current medication she has a lot of withdrawal synthoms.
I’m afraid the longer she stays in the medication the more dificult could be to exit. She now is on 18 years of medication.
Anyway thank you so much for all of your videos and dedication.
