I have slight aniscorsia and I'm getting obsessed over it being a sign of damage.
This could also be a blood sugar type dealI sometimes find myself getting nauseaous when doing weight training in particular its like I cannot tolerate it as much. Happens less often with cardio but I've had it happen.
Theoretically though why aren't we seeing bodybuilders (who are natural--I don't want to count the ones who do anabolic steroids because androgens may counter cortisol) develop MDD, anxiety, OCD etc from training very hard? Aren't they exposed to chronic stress hormones?
What counters that?
Exercise induced cortisol release is somehow "good" I guess but its still the same stress hormone.
Do you have headaches/neck pain or other abnormal head sensations? Sorry I can't remember if you do.I have slight aniscorsia and I'm getting obsessed over it being a sign of damage.
What about finasteride? I've read elsewhere this cured a few people of HPPD
DHT is really important for mental health and so is the neurosteroid Allopregnenolone which is made from progesterone in the brain via the 5AR enzyme. Definitely do not want to deplete that stuff which controls a lot of GABA activity.
Yeah I do get headaches and have head pressure on the right side of my forehead, feels like tension is there all of the time. No neck pain though.
Dont see why youre so skeptical of the microbiota stuff Cotcha seeing as newer research is showing some interesting data on how the gut plays a role in mental health. Sure drugs have impacted the brain in this so called 'LTC' but that doesnt rule of the role of the gut in terms of recovery. It certainly would be something to 'tunnel vision' on imo seeing as the majority of neurotransmitters are produced in the gut. I believe people stand the best chance of recovery when they tackle it from all possible angles.
Socrilus, i highly recommend tempeh if you are looking to incorporate fermeneted foods.
Hey guys,
The dizziness is the worst, it's a constant pulsing in the background that feels like a dull brain zap, triggered even further when I move my head.
I get severe head pressure sometimes as part of my illness. Sometimes it gets so bad that it makes me suicidal and is one of the worst physical symptoms.
Anyone feel like they're never fully sober?? I mean it's getting better but that is how I describe this to friends and family

"The theory that supplemented probiotic bacteria could affect psychological outcomes has recently been outlined in narrative reviews; to date, however, this area of research has not been systematically reviewed.
Overall, there is very limited evidence for the efficacy of probiotic interventions in psychological outcomes. The evidence base is incomplete and lacks applicability.
CONCLUSIONS: More trials are necessary before any inferences can be made about the efficacy of probiotics in mental health applications."
One of the issues is that we need better validated studies, there have been some supplement scandals before, particularly with curcumin. Supplements are actually a fairly sizeable industry.
I'm not poo-pooing the gut-brain stuff entirely and the organs certainly affect the brain and vice versa, but I've just seen situations before where people will really tunnel vision on stuff like their gut bactera, convinced that they have bacterial overgrowth and that modern agriculture/antibiotics have ruined their GI tract, when their symptoms may have little to do with their GI tract. GI tract diseases are the exception of course, probiotics may help there.
