Hey all, love this forum/family of patriots and purebloods. As we are all well aware that the serotonin link is garbage for psych as a recent article came out. Does anyone have advice/tips for OCD/anxiety? My wife suffers from it and at times it is crippling. Sadly she is on seroquel, an SSRI, wants to keep taking it for sleep. We have tried pre/probiotics, kefir, GABA, she has had Christian counselors, etc. I am open to advice from what had helped others. Thanks patriot family ahead of time.

Your words describe a classic pattern, often these women are boxed in as mentally ill. Unfortunately I have been down this ugly road many decades ago. Nothing will help until you wean off the SSRIs and restore metabolic energy to your poor wife’s brain. Lowering serotonin and restoring brain energy is absolutely crucial.
I suggest you FULLY familiarize yourself with the work of Ray Peat PhD. A full thyroid work up may be in order.

Dr. Peat provides his research for FREE since tax payers have already paid for it. He sells NOTHING. Every article provides full citations for further research.
All of the mitigating strategies can be accomplished without further interference from the medical community. You can order your own lab work online, if needed. There are forums devoted to weaning safely off SSRIs.
Time is of the essence and good luck in your journey.
