There is a depression epidemic. It must be true because there are currently 23 or more antidepressant prescription drugs available in the United States. The purpose of these drugs is to concentrate or alter one or more brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. These drugs can relieve depression symptoms. The problem with the drugs are that it can take more and more drug to maintain that good feeling and there are serious side effects. You can look these up at http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/antidepressants-ADF.htm There is another way. We can now do a simple test to measure 16 different neurotransmitters. If the test results are an imbalance or insufficiency, then we can do targeted nutritional or amino acid therapy to support your body's own neurotransmitter production and balance. Neurotransmitters are manufactured by nerve cells out of amino acids. We know which amino acid will make a given neurotransmitter. You take an amino acid. No side effects. It's support of normal nerve function. If you are on an antidepressant, or other mood altering drug, your need for the prescribed dose may be reduced or eliminated. Therefore it is important to work with your prescriber to decrease your dosage as needed.
I've had a practice in San Mateo for twenty-two years. Most patients come to see me for spine, muscle and nerve pain and stay for optimum health and performance.
