Most people with depression have been told it’s a serotonin problem. But after analyzing hundreds of genetic reports, the picture is far more complex than that.

But after analyzing hundreds of genetic reports, the picture is far more complex than that.
COMT, MTHFR, SOD2, BDNF, MAOA - these genes show up consistently in clients experiencing depression, and they point to something the standard treatment model misses entirely: depression is often a clearance and oxidative stress problem, not a deficiency problem.
That’s why so many people feel worse on antidepressants, or need to try three or four before finding one that works, or never fully respond at all.
The genetics predicted that outcome.
Two nutrients that address multiple mechanisms simultaneously and are almost never discussed in this context:
Vitamin C and Vitamin B3 as niacinamide. Not because they raise serotonin. Because they reduce the biochemical congestion that makes the nervous system hypersensitive and impossible to regulate in the first place.
I broke down all six genetic mechanisms, the physiology behind both nutrients, and what this means for anyone who has struggled to find answers.
