Concentrating on the little things hidden in your daily routines and actions that you might otherwise take for granted. These positive droplets create a micro-squirt of dopamine (pleasure) and serotonin (happiness).
Simon Marshall,
Thank you, Dr Snipes🙏; your podcast helps me understand WHY a person I grew up with was on Prozac for years, with no discernable improvement in her mood! 😘👍🏽🖖
You’re so welcome. I am grateful to be of help and I appreciate you watching the video.
Excellent and accurate discussion, at a level that is appropriate for both patients and practitioners.
TY so much!! Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
Yes, excellent
You speak in such a concise and eloquent manner. I really appreciate you sharing your expertise with us on the internet :)
I Really appreciate the information you share with Us. Thank You ☺️
Doc Snipes - you are a gem 💎
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another amazing video, Doc Snipes. It provides quality , helpful information and sheds light on a topic that needed clarification. I can’t imagine a better explanation than you are giving here and the video is just as great as all the other videos on your TH-cam channel.🌹♥️
From my experience with depression all of my life I've noticed that an imbalance of dopamine and serotonin is an issue more than just having low serotonin. I was taking phenylalanine and tyrosine to attempt to increase my dopamine and it started to make me more depressed. I stopped taking those supplements and started taking tryptophan and it really helped me a lot
You have no way to know any of them are low because you cannot measure them. Serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline are all involved in mood but not necessarily a deficiency in any of these .
Thank you Doc Snipes you are helping me a lot !
Key is giving tbe building blocks (vitamins minerals amino acids, the more whole food the better) to any issue, and not hormones or neurotransmitters, end result products, as the body will stop making it. Also carefull of getting too much of some amino acids like Proline. And phenylalanine is made in the breakdown of aspartame!! So avoid that. I have a friend that has PKU and can't process phenylalanine, and after I learned aspartame breaks down into phenylalanine, (Diet Coke has a warning label for PKU), I also learned people with her condition will become depressed if they don't stay on diet, and if left too long, will decline mentally and physically into retardation or mental disability. But I realized they were just canarys for the rest of us. It affects us too, and I agree, too much phenylalanine will cause depression in people without PKU too.
Read or watch videos on book Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke
@@amypola5903 im a doctor working in psychiatry, I donr get my info from a lay
Persons book.
This is absolutely one of the most amazing videos on TH-cam. Thank you so much for explaining this. I am very interested in psychology and neuroscience so I am definitely subscribing to you channel.
I have one question. You mentioned neuronal breakdown due to stressors. Does this happen when you take on the stress voluntarily? Like when you engage the parasympathetic nervous system instead of the sympathetic nervous system engaging due to stress that was unexpected?
Thanks for watching.
Actually, your artwork is quite exceptional.
Thanks so much
Prozac gives me a lift. Is that just the initial energetic effect of it? I can't tolerate other anti depressants. They make me cry.
Cotton-Tail moment when Doctor Snipes began her analogy of the water treatment plant! Such an engaging way to take me on a mental tour of how the body creates hormones 🥰🥰😄
Wait a minute...! Is it, "Cotton-Tail" or "Cotton-Tale"?! 🤔
It made me think of the Billings flood.
It’s the bunny’s cotton tail…the bunny that Doc Snipes talk about in some of her videos.♥️🐰
@@ADINA7 This is true however, in a sense, the phrase refers to some sort of memory or happening, technically doesn't that make it a "Tale" of sorts? 😅 We should probably wait for Doctor Snipes the Stoic to verify this.
THANK YOU DOC I APPRECIATE YOU FOR THE THANK NSIGHT AND INFORMATION THAT I CAN USE ON A DAILY BASIS
You are very welcome
@@DocSnipes THANK YOU DOC I FEEL WITHOUT YOUR INSIGHT AND INFORMATION I DONT KNOW WHERE I BE I AM SO READY FOR YOU
Im a junior doctor in psycjiatry and no psychiayrist ive ever met thinks low serotonin is the cause of depression. SSRIs help a subset oc patients but its through other mechanism like BDNF etc.we do t fully understand it.
I am cautiously optimistic that Dr Brian Palmer’s new book will change the way we treat mental illness, within my lifetime!🤞🏼
SSRIs work like magic on my depression. Unfortunately, they work like black magic on my ability to sleep.
Hello!
Do try to watch this video on Sleep Improvememt For Mental Health:
th-cam.com/video/RmuJKdKYVcc/w-d-xo.html
And this video on Improving Sleep Hygiene for Mental health:
th-cam.com/video/-sdk7WYtkI4/w-d-xo.html
They help. 😊
When u say black magic what do you mean ?thanks
@@ashleyashley2735 It means iSSRIs give me insomnia.
I also fall in insomnia , happy mood then more deep depression
Personally I prioritise sleep over mood. Though of course the two are related. Errrm, I assume you have read Matthew Walker’s book on sleep, boring as it is -guaranteed to put readers to sleep! - but incredibly thorough and informative...? Anyhoo, sweet dreams!😘
Would you say vitamin D supplements is good for depression?
Thank you so much for watching. Vitamin D deficiency is a main cause of depression. A blood panel will help discover a vitamin D deficiency.
Hormone therapy especially for men has helped drastically... I know for me it's worked wonders.
That’s awesome! I appreciate you watching the video. What did you find most useful from it? Other videos you might be interested in can be found at th-cam.com/users/DocSnipessearch?query=depression
Dear Doc, what does APH (as in APH-axis) stand for? Thanks for putting out so much great content.
You’re so welcome. I appreciate you watching. “HPA axis” is short for “hypothalamic - pituitary- adrenal axis”.
@@DocSnipes Ah ok 👌, great. Thank you !
What is the cause of mania? Clearly whatever hormone is involved in mania, the lack of it will cause depression. But building up "serotonin" by taking drugs, where most serotonin is either found in the gut or blood stream, very little will reach the insula itself (where manic-depression stems from). And if someone has damaged receptors in the insula, then even drugs might not help. The other issue is many people associate anxiety and fears with depression--but that is the amygdala system, not the insula system. So increasing serotonin is not going to effect someone suffering from anxiety or PTSD (where hippocampus and memories are interconnected in the amygdala).
Thanks for watching the video.
These are the Causes of Mania and Its Relationship to Depression:
* Biological Factors: Mania can be triggered by alterations in brain structure and neurotransmitter imbalances. For instance, dopamine alterations are common in bipolar disorder, which can affect mood regulation and contribute to both manic and depressive episodes.
* Genetic Predisposition: There is often a genetic component to bipolar disorder, which includes periods of mania and depression. Individuals with a family history of bipolar disorder are at a higher risk of experiencing mania.
* Circadian Rhythm Dysregulation:Disruptions in sleep patterns and circadian rhythms can precipitate manic episodes. Similarly, people with depression often have difficulty with sleep, which can further disrupt circadian rhythms and potentially lead to mania.
* HPA Axis Dysfunction: The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis plays a role in stress response. Dysregulation of the HPA axis can lead to hypercortisolism during manic episodes and hypocortisolism during depressive episodes, affecting mood and behavior.
* Psychological Stress: High levels of stress and emotional turmoil can trigger episodes of mania and depression. Managing stress through relaxation techniques and therapy can help regulate mood swings.
* Substance Use: Certain substances, including stimulants and antidepressants, can induce manic episodes. It's important to consider the influence of substances when diagnosing and treating bipolar disorder.
Relationship Between Mania and Depression:
* Bipolar Disorder: Mania and depression are two poles of bipolar disorder. Individuals may experience manic episodes, depressive episodes, or a combination of both, often with periods of remission in between.
* Cognitive and Emotional Aftermath:The aftermath of a manic episode can lead to feelings of depression, guilt, and regret, especially if the individual engaged in risky or harmful behaviors during the episode.
* Impact on Recovery: For those with co-occurring addiction and bipolar disorder, a manic episode can lead to relapse, which can then trigger intense negative emotions and potentially a depressive episode.
* Treatment Compliance: The side effects of medications used to stabilize mood, such as fatigue, can affect treatment compliance, which can in turn impact the management of both mania and depression.
Understanding the causes of mania and its relationship to depression is crucial for effective treatment and management of bipolar disorder. It's important to address both manic and depressive symptoms to achieve stability and improve overall functioning.

I think chronic isolation is a stressor throwing off the HPA axis.
Youre a genius
@@scarred10 Well, I don't know about genius, but my IQ is 3,785.
Have you done a critical appraisal of the study??
And, the next question can be: why the pharmaceutical industry don't manufacture (and study, of course) medication that corrects the other chemicals in the brain, other than serotonin?
Do you have any videos that cover cptsd related Agoraphobia and how to overcome it? If not, do you think you’ll have one in the future?
I do not have one specifically on that, and yes, I can add that to the list. Thank you for the suggestion! ~Peace
@@DocSnipes madam ,. Excessive mastrubation cause irritable bowel syndrome,, what is the treatment madam,?
I forgot my magnesium last night, and feeling less than motivated today.
Magnesium has no effect on mood and motivation
@@scarred10 it IS needed for over 300 bodily processes. And you think a lack of it won't affect you? Ooookay. I love magnesium. Love it.
@@amypola5903 not one of those processes is motivation or mood,you can love it all you like but thats not evidence
After spending three days being triggered by the headline created by that meta analysis, I want to thank you for this video cause it helped bring me out of the panic attack that came from being flashed back to the 1980s when I was still a teenager and people still thought that depression was just all in your head and that anyone who had it was just lazy and was using it as an excuse for their moral weakness. People still believe that, but at least now some of us know better.
I’m going to be less kind than you were, Dr. Snipes, because I read the analysis and that trash heap of headline being to describe it is definitely gaslighting.
Most people won't even know what a meta analysis is and won't understand that it’s not new information, it’s just an analysis of studies already published. The first report on SSRIs came out in 1974, and yet the authors of the analysis could only find 17 studies that met the criteria they created. I’m not saying the analysis is flawed (even though people with more expertise then I have had), but I will say that a study conducted by researchers whose ethics declarations include being co owner of a company that “help people safely stop antidepressants in Canada”, and an author who wrote a book with a subheading “Overmedicalisation, Flawed Research, and Conflicts of Interest” would definitely raise red flags if it wasn't published in the journal that it was published in.
There are so many different messages they could have used to better educate the public. People need to be informed of the limitations of medicines and other treatment options, but to suggest taking aways something that helps 30% of people with depression is words that I can't say in polite company.
We’re not in the 1980’s anymore, but sometimes our brains get stuck in those traumas and until you calm the mind you can't heal the mind.
I have strong feelings about this analysis and the way it’s being played out in the public, but I want to say how much I appreciate you taking a balanced approach. It’s easier for people to make informed decisions about treatment options when they have unbiased information.
Well said. I to am very discouraged that one meta analysis got so much media play. The media attention, in and of itself would be worth someone researching. I greatly appreciate your comments.
Agreed: most people will have NO IDEA what a meta-analyses is.
Sorry i misspelled ‘meta-analysis’!😢
short answer. no
I dont think its serotonin at all i feel like its lack of dopamine hence no motivation and veing tired all the time because theres no natural reward chemicals to motivate anything to get up and go...🤷 Thats just me and ive had chronic depression my entire life and tried numerous ssri meds that haven't worked...but unfortunately narcotics did...ive been clean for years now but thats just my educated guess...makes.more sense..

First and foremost, check your environment. Being surrounded by A$$holes cause depression sometimes.
I too believe that some depression stems from exposure to toxic people.
I agree with u
For those struggling with depression, try intermittent fasting. It increases the BDNF in the hippopotamus. It also helps sleep amd lowers anxiety levels. Also, Jesus Christ is ultimately our Savior from all sin and death.
Hippopatumus?
Hiphopanonymous ?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊
I am doomed 😞
