Undermethylation

Since most psychiatrists believe that depression is caused by low levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, SSRI anti-depressants (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) tend to be the standard of care because they inhibit the removal of serotonin from synapses by transport proteins called serotonin transporters (SERT). Unfortunately, this is a very flawed approach because it doesn’t take into account the unique biochemical imbalances and symptoms of the individual.
