Specific B vitamins and iron play a crucial role in brain function and mental health treatment.

Inflammation can impair mitochondrial function, which is crucial for brain health, and high levels of inflammation are linked to various neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Low levels of vitamin B12 are associated with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and other neuropsychiatric symptoms, particularly among vegetarians and vegans.

Improving mitochondrial function involves lifestyle factors such as exercise, sleep, and sunlight exposure, which can enhance mental health.

As soon as a child begins to show signs of developmental issues, we should conduct a thorough evaluation for vitamin and nutrient deficiencies, particularly looking for Central B12 deficiency.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to permanent neurological damage if not identified and treated early, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring.

Methylene blue acts as an electron acceptor and donor, potentially helping to reduce oxidative stress in dysfunctional mitochondria, which is linked to various psychiatric disorders.

Metabolic health, particularly mitochondrial health, can be leveraged to treat and potentially cure psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia, autism, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Research is underway to establish biomarkers that can predict mitochondrial dysfunction and potentially identify children at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.
