Please don't jump to conclusions before clicking away... This is a serious question.
Do you or someone you know have someone in their household between the ages of 19-25 that were doing well with holding down a job, paying bills, active life etc like interested in video games, bowling anything..... Then one day, within the last year or so, became more or less manic depressive? Unable to get out of their own head? Constantly talking about themselves and ghostly pains. Not able to work, gets paranoid of old past times like gaming etc and purely focused on their "pains" with no interest or capability to even think like a normal person anymore?
Is this happening allot out there but as most families would do, just deal with it? Obviously if your still reading I could admit this has affected by family, BUT ALSO in my Career. All early 20s kids are fucked up. I'm just wondering if there's an underlying reason for NOT being able to find employees that could be tied to a possible Nationwide issue regarding our next generation of adults.
Input needed, direction requested. Probably wrong sub but honestly I'm here more than anywhere else.
Anybody else have anyone in their circle that has a young adult suddenly have mental issues? Is this happening to everyone else and nobody is putting this together yet?
Honest HELP Needed. And in my case I'm talking about a non poked person. No jabby.
Thanks for taking the time....
Carry On!!!
I will just say, I have a son that is bi-polar, and the symptoms did not really appear until his 20's. He is now 40. He was stuck in the manic phase and that was really hard to handle. He tried Lithium but did not like the effects. I make a combination oil for him of equal parts lavender, cedarwood and frankincense for him to put a drop under his tongue morning and night and that has helped him to balance out the worst of his symptoms. He still talks a lot, but that is the least of our worries. He is fine, unless he stops taking the oil, then he seems to get angrier. I am glad to have found such a simple solution for his bi-polar problems.
I would recommend orthomolecular psychiatry or the writings of Abram Hoffer for alternative solutions to a lot of mental health problems. I had a sister that was schizophrenic, and she went to an orthomolecular psychiatrist and was able to maintain a normal life with a megadose of B3...niacinamide... in a protocol. Hoffer is dead and he did a lot of his work in the 50's and 60's, but there are many researchers who have continued his work and made some new discoveries about the brain and adjusted protocols accordingly. I think there are major health issues we are seeing that we haven't seen before and it does appear that the electronic age we have entered into has had a real impact on our health. God bless you so that you find the answers you are seeking. I have found God to be VERY faithful in always giving me the answers to any physical problem my family had.
Does he have normal iron levels?
B vitamins do wonders for mental health.
I am not sure my son has tested his iron levels. I would not supplement iron unless I knew I was anemic. A book I read in the 70's was called "Body, Mind and the B Vitamins" by Ruth Adams. I was on a fast-acting tranquilizer for dermatographism, which is essentially hives caused by stress (parents divorced). I utilized the B vitamins to get off the tranquilizers and have pretty much taken a B complex since then. So, I am sold on B vitamins.
I will tell you a couple other things that are effective for mental health...NAC...an amino acid that is a precursor to glutathione and it has a calming effect on the brain. It also protects your cells so is great against spike proteins. Take on an empty stomach in the AM half hour before any food. Also, Vitamin D (and K) because of its' ability to utilize calcium (which calms) also has an impact on mental health.
I utilize homeopathics and Bach Flower remedies for emotional states...Rescue Remedy is the most well-known...and they can be effective if you get the correct remedies. I have tried a lot of different supplements over the years including St. John's Wort, 5-HTP and SAM-e and they each had benefits and served a purpose. Lately, some of my kids started using light therapy to help balance the mood. Vitamin D levels should be around 60 and it is essential to get that tested and rectify vitamin D levels almost before you do anything else and be sure to take K with it.
I found when I entered menopause a lot of the hormonal imbalances improved...now I only need a good B complex in the 100-150 mg. across the board range. I put a link down below that discusses some alternative therapies for depression because I feel like a LOT of people are pretty depressed these last couple of years. There really is a ton of information out there...you just have to spend the time to study and then learn how to utilize the proper therapies to correct imbalances.

Good, good. Get his ferritin levels checked. Does he get enough zinc and copper foods?
I will have to check...we all really don't go to doctors very often...I do labs and checkups, but he probably has no reason to go since he is generally pretty healthy and we treat everything alternatively. What is the association with ferrin levels and mental health? I know we take a multi without iron because it interferes with absorption of something or other. I will have to check this all out...he lives 4 hours away so I don't see him too often.
