Hi Larry,

Thank you for the link :-)

>I'm quite concerned that the first resort to treatment is medication, rather than optimization of whatever natural capacity the individual may have.

I agree. The pharmaceutical industry is a very influential profit making business. A lot of the American Psychiatric Association's money is said to come from drug adverts. Many doctors are very dismissive of vitamins, I guess they aren't discussed much at medical school. About four years ago, I went to a conferance for people who were considering doing medicine at university. Various physicians and surgeons had prepared talks... people listened politely. A woman came to talk about the importance of diet and nutrition and some people were shouting 'boo boo'. It seems that potential medical students are anti-supplement before they even start medical school.

Perhaps if L-Tryptophan + BH4 (or folic acid if BH4 not available) was inadequate, adding an SSRI would make sense.

>I doubt they have an SSRI deficiency.
Me too. Last friday night I went to a bar with a friend who was already a bit drunk. I didn't enjoy myself, perhaps I was suffering from an alcohol deficiency!

Regards,
Ed.
