Sadness spiked by Omega
Recently, we have recently tried to focus on food and the gut biome, for my daughter with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. While she's waiting to get into a Ketamine program, we suspicious the Omegas are having a negative effect, not positive. How can we construct a personal study to better see that the Omegas are having a positive, negative or neutral/no effect?
Sleep Studies on psychodelics
Do you aware if there is any research designed like that? During the sleep state, they injected psychedelics (or melatonin or any other substances as you wish, hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.) for various purposes as you already can imagine the diversity of that. So, I really have thoughts about that and think it would be another option for treatment. You can study the architecture of sleep, the deepness of sleep, dreams, the content of dreams, and go so on. The range of this approach is enormous.
Finding competent mental health professionals.
Humans have biases. My personal experience finds too many care "professionals" are biased in that they know better. As I learn from your podcasts, I recently tried to share information that I found on Huberman's podcasts, and so far, I have only heard, "that's his opinion." Without walking down the list of professionals in the phone directory :) I am trying to find a psychiatrist for my daughter suffering from constant, "severe" depression. She was not always this way but has definitely gotten worse as prescribed meds have gotten stronger, changed, gotten stronger again. How do I find real help for her?
