There are very many theories regarding what is and isn’t a contributing mechanism to mental health. Nutrition is one thing, when I ate less I lost weight and had less fatigue and depression. But that happened in concert with treatment aligned with the serotonin/norepinephrine signaling theory of depression, and it worked for me, as it has very many others in regular drug studies.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to dismiss medicine right away but it was an essential 15% to the 85% of my work putting in place methods and giving myself a chance to change.

That was pretty much the whole point of my comment. Why are there many theories? Because their are are many causes. Until we start looking at every one individually no one will get well.

And I am in no way dismissing medicine, I only want doctors to start practicing it again.
