There are some really good answers here, it’s actually very interesting for me to read them.
What I’m gonna say were already mentioned by Lou, but it’s from experience with my girlfriend’s depression.
It was post birth, plus a bunch of things with her family. Anyway, it’s been over 2 years by the time she realized it as she didn’t know why it’s an effort everyday to just get out of bed regardless how much she slept. There were other symptoms and problems too.
One thing that helped her is she went to 12 weeks of counceling, or therapy and they really fixed some of the deeper rooted issues. Besides they put her on serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which balanced her out but no fix.
Once I hear CT say on a podcast about how depression is more a dopamine/adrenaline than serotonin issue, so I researched it, and he actually mentioned something in a Question of Strength about figuring out whether it’s dopamine, noradrenaline, or adrenaline receptor issue. So I had her take 7g tyrosine empty stomach, but even in an hour it didn’t do anything. Therefore it released dopamine, got converted to noradrenaline, then adrenaline, and still no energy rush, meaning, her adrenaline receptors are trash, probably from depression and mild anxiety as her cortisol was constantly high, also she is type 2b/3 mix so glutamate and cortisol are both high for her. Anyway, based on that I went with CT’s recommendation of giving her high dose (about 1.5-2g I think) of magnesium spread across the day, which keeps her cortisol down, therefore her adrenaline, and her receptors can actually get resensitized as they are not constantly under pressure.
With your girlfriend, I don’t know about the tyrosine even for diagnose, because her anxiety seems more severe and I don’t know if its safe to do so.
Besides these, I’ll actually re-read Lou’s replys because there are a lot of gems I didn’t know or overlooked that could help keeping my girlfriend depression and anxiety in check even more for the long term.
I didn’t read through your replys yet Kolyma so me mentioning the quality of Lou’s responses exclusively is not in any way meant to discredit anything you responded in this thread.
Wish you and her all the best Bigmax
