When we think about ADHD, we often think about brain chemistry—particularly dopamine. Dopamine plays an important role in attention, motivation, working memory, impulse control, and…
Attention depends on coordinated brain signaling as well as the biological systems that sustain brain function. In ADHD, differences in dopamine and norepinephrine signaling are…

ADHD is often viewed through the lens of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine—and for good reason. These chemical messengers help regulate attention, motivation, executive…
While neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine remain central to ADHD research, researchers are increasingly exploring the broader biological environment in which these signaling systems…
Eating disorders are among the most complex psychiatric conditions, affecting not just food intake but also brain chemistry, metabolism, and emotional regulation. While therapy and…
Aging is inevitable, but how we age is increasingly being understood as something we can influence. Every day, our cells battle oxidative stress, inflammation, and…
For most people, lithium is primarily associated with psychiatric treatment or the batteries that power modern technology. Yet lithium may have a lesser-known role in…
Depression is more than a neurotransmitter imbalance—it often reflects a breakdown in the body’s deeper systems of energy, immunity, and cellular repair. Inflammation, oxidative stress,…
Aggression and impulsivity can disrupt relationships, careers, and daily life. Whether they appear as emotional outbursts, difficulty controlling reactions, risk-taking behaviors, or poor decision-making, these…
Depression is increasingly recognized as a multi-systemic condition, arising from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, environmental, and genetic factors (Bains et al., 2023). Beyond…
Depression involves complex, body-wide processes, including neurotransmitter production, methylation, cellular energy metabolism, immune regulation, and inflammation. The brain is one of the most metabolically active…
Lithium has played a unique role in human health history, moving from ancient healing traditions to psychiatric medicine and, more recently, to growing interest in…
Depression is increasingly recognized as a systemic condition, influenced not only by brain chemistry but also by systemic and neuroinflammation, stress dysregulation, and gut dysbiosis—undersocring…
When we think about minerals that support health, we often focus on familiar nutrients like magnesium, calcium, zinc, or selenium. Yet another mineral has quietly…
Depression is a multifaceted condition arising from biological, psychological, environmental, and genetic factors (Ortega et al., 2022; Maes et al., 1997; Grajek et al., 2022).…
Mental health is shaped by far more than brain chemistry alone. It emerges from complex interactions among genetics, stress, immune function, metabolism, sleep, circadian rhythms,…
Depression is increasingly recognized as a disorder of disrupted homeostasis—where inflammation, oxidative stress, hormonal imbalance, and impaired cellular signaling converge to dysregulate mood and cognition.…
Depression is deeply biological and tied to the chemistry of neurotransmitters, stress hormones, and inflammatory pathways. Central to these processes is magnesium, a mineral essential…
Every year, millions of families are affected by Alzheimer's disease—a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that slowly erodes memory, thinking, independence, and quality of life. Today, more…
Depression often reflects broader disruptions in inflammation, cellular energy, and systemic balance. Essential fatty acids (EFAs)—including omega-3s EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), along…
Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter that fuels motivation, reward processing, and cognitive adaptability. In depression, multiple systemic factors—including inflammation, oxidative stress, HPA axis dysregulation, and…
Your brain is your most complex and metabolically active organ, orchestrating everything from memory and emotion to movement and survival. Remarkably, although it accounts for…
Depression is increasingly recognized as a disorder of disrupted homeostasis. Oxidative stress, chronic low-grade inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, and hyperactivation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA)…
Can Amino Acid Imbalances Contribute to Depression? Yes. When amino acid balance is disrupted—through inadequate intake, poor absorption, genetic differences, or increased demand under stress—mood…
This article was originally published in PsychologyToday by Dr. James Greenblatt. Key points Alzheimer’s disease begins decades before symptoms appear, well before memory loss becomes…
