    Schizophrenia / Psychosis Linked To Traumatic Experience And Stress

    I have suspected this for a long time, but the official version to this day is that schizophrenia is primarily a gene-driven disease linked to a "misbehaving" cluster of about 300 genes. The fact that most of these genes are related to serotonin metabolism is considered, of course, irrelevant to...

    Anti-serotonin, Pro-dopamine Drug Approved For Psychosis And Bipolar Disease

    After more than 5 decades of claiming that psychosis conditions like schizophrenia are caused by excessive dopaminergic activity and depression is a deficiency of serotonin, big pharma is doing 180 degrees reversal.

    Nitric Oxide (NO) May Be A Causative Factor In Schizophrenia

    I am always pleased to see studies like this as they indicate that at least in some medical circles common sense has not left the building. If the study below is correct, it would explain the beneficial effects on schizophrenia of substances like glycine, famotidine, minocycline, pregnenolone...

    Schizophrenia Also Linked To Gut Dysfunction

    The latest study to link yet another chronic condition to problems with the microbiome (gut bacteria). One thing that pointed researchers in this direction is the fact that the antibiotic minocycline (which Ray Peat frequently recommends for gut problems) greatly reduces symptoms of...

    Clonidine may be helpful for schizophrenia

    Chronic stress is a well-known trigger of schizophrenia, especially when combined with the impression of being "pursued" (i.e. being chased by debt collectors or law enforcement). Other anti-andrenalin substances may help as well. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24106334 "...This is the...

    Glycine May Treat Schizophrenia

    Russian medicine considers glycine a brain drug and it is available by prescription there since the 1950s AFAIK. There has been considerable interest in the Western world lately about so-called glycine agonists for treatment of many psychiatric conditions including bipolar depression, dementia...

    Pregnenolone Likely Effective For Schizophrenia

    I have been following this for some time now. The pharma industry is quickly running out of options for managing drug-resistant schizophrenia so it is turning to therapies from the beginning of the 20th century.
