BACKLOG OVERVIEW - Depression
- not eating enough tryptophan
- tryptophan is taken by fructose malabsorption
- tryptophan is stolen by ido pathway
- omega 3 shortage leads to serotonin vesicles disfunction
- omega 3 not eaten frequently, or oxidated by oxidative stress (maybe glutamate damage or too little antioxidants)
- cofactors for tryptophan to serotonin conversion are missing such as zinc, b6, b9, b3
- eating too often, blocking BDNF
- intermittent fasting increases ketones and BDNF
conditionDepression
Depression is a mental state of low mood and aversion to activity.[3] Classified medically as a mental and behavioral disorder,[4] the experience of depression affects a person's thoughts, behavior, motivation, feelings, and sense of well-being.[5] The core symptom of depression is said to be anhedonia, which refers to loss of interest or a loss of feeling of pleasure in certain activities that usually bring joy to people.[6] Depressed mood is a symptom of some mood disorders such as major depressive disorder or dysthymia;[7] it is a normal temporary reaction to life events, such as the loss of a loved one; and it is also a symptom of some physical diseases and a side effect of some drugs and medical treatments. It may feature sadness, difficulty in thinking and concentration and a significant increase or decrease in appetite and time spent sleeping. People experiencing depression may have feelings of dejection, hopelessness and suicidal thoughts. It can either be short term or long term.Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(mood)20 confidence points 0 comments Added on Feb 1, 2022 by Barbara Van De KeerEdited on Jun 29, 2022 by No update
