    Pregnenolone May Treat Bipolar Depression

    Ray has said that depressed people taking pregnenolone recovered quickly and felt a "sense of resilience" when faced with depressive challenges. This was a human trial and dose was 500mg a day for 12 weeks. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24917198 "...Depression remission rates were greater...

    Hypoglycemia Is Obesogenic And Associated With Depression

    This would not really be surprising to Peat followers but it is nice to see it explored in mainstream media. Fasting may have its uses, but the chronic starvation induced by diets like Weight Watchers are truly wreaking havoc on the population. http://suppversity.blogspot.com/2014/09 ...

    The Low Serotonin Cause Of Depression Is Finally Discredited

    We have know this for a while, but it is nice to see that after thousands of suicides caused by SSRI somebody finally decided enough is enough and used modern medicine's favorite tool (genetics) to discredit the idea that low serotonin is a cause of depression. I think the fact that drugs like...

    High Levels Of Glutamate Implicated In Depression / Suicide

    The study was about SSRI effectiveness prediction, but as usual, sometimes little gems leak out of the study that are useful to people with Peatarian mindset: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn2 ... sants.html "...In the latest study, Turecki and his colleagues measured the levels of about...

    If I recall correctly, Peat sometimes advised use of progesterone for depression. Is there a rationale, or related study, to support the advice?

    High cortisol is a biomarker for depression

    The study was obviously a bit skewed and measured "depressive symptoms" together with cortisol, b/c nobody would publish a study that claims cortisol single-handedly causes depression. However, even without the causality conclusion, given what Ray has written about chronically elevated cortisol...

    Cyproheptadine - A Wonder Drug?

    Hi all, As you many of you know, Ray Peat has mentioned cyproheptadine as a possible option for correcting certain physiological processes that have been derailed after years of eating PUFA, being exposed to chronic stress, toxins, endotoxin, battling chronic diseases, etc. As I mentioned in...

    Blue Light, SAD, And Bilirubin

    Does anyone know why blue light therapy is an effective treatment for SAD (and often for insomnia, energy, and other related issues?) Peat has said blue light causes stress, so I'm confused as to why it's been shown to have so many positive effects for so many people. (Countless testimonials on...
