I recently read in a book that an OTC supplement called phosphatidylserine blocks excess cortisol production. And can aide depression recovery by doing the cortisol blocking thing. So I went out and bought some of it today. Wow, that stuff is expensive!!! I took my first one this afternoon and I notice a little change, but nothing dramatic.
So has anyone actually had this stuff work for depression? You are supposed to use it in conjunction with regular psych meds and only if youve been formally tested for high cortisol levels, which I have tested positive for.
Im wondering if this is another bs snakeoil supplement, with overhyped claims being made about it.
