First of all , I would like to state that I maintain my original position that 'mental illness' or 'mental disorders' do not exist but that does not mean that some symptoms that people called mental illness are not real phenomena but I mean that statistics in the DSM and ICD are are not legit and that there are no biomarkers for these things.

So, anyway, I paid for Sliverberry genomix (by uploading my raw dna) :

So, some of the things I was genetically prone to be deficient in were certain B vitamins, COQ10, Vitamin D and that I was allergic to certain foods. I also , cut gluten and casein out of my diet (two culprits that are commonly associated with 'mental illness'). In fact Doctor Perlmutter (a New York Times bestselling author) in his book "Grain Brain" cured a person diagnosed with bipolar by simply cutting out gluten from their diet. He also said he considers gluten to be a poison and that vitamin D is now recognized as an important brain hormone.
So, a Harvard University Doctor recommended , among other things, a keto diet for my 'condition'.
So things I have done that work idiosyncratically for me but for another person they would have to tweak it or use perhaps another diet and supplements (certainly the latter) :
My diet : Keto with no gluten and modified to have no dairy products (casein, you see, and I'm slightly lactose intolerant)
Supplements :
Vitamin D 5,000 mg a day
Omega 3 fatty acids 5-6 grams a day
CoQ10 2,000 MG a day
Vitamin B complex 3 times a day
Zinc with copper 3 times a day (forget the mgs right now)
Magnesium twice a day I think at 2,000 mg each if I remember correctly
a quality multvitamin with minerals (once a day)
Probiotics 3 times a day with over 15 different strains
L-Tyrosine
Taurine
etc...
NAC once a day
Vitamin C 3 or more times a day (you can't overdose see Linus Pauling )
etc...
No point in listing them all since what I take will not be the same for another person let alone myself in the future (isn't science wonderful ?)
Books I read syntopically to figure this all out:
Actually, there were a few other books but if you are really interested in the subject you would be able to supplement additional books on your own.
