So...this is the first I've come across this hypothesis that (some) mood disorders might be caused, in part at least, by insufficient myelination at certain developmental stages...or something like that. It sounds really plausible to me, but I don't have a science background or anything. It also goes along with thyroid disorders running in families, so maybe that's a plausible explanation for why MD's run in families? Anyway, I thought some of the better-educated/more well-read people on the board might have some info on this? I'm particularly interested in anything about how to uhh..re-myelinate? my uhh...sheaths? nerves? Heh. From what I read, lecithin and maybe fish oil or other fatty acids could help? I'm 24, so apparently I still have some chance to help my myelination (until 25)? Larry??
I'd be appreciative of any info. Thanks.
