Etiologies[edit]
Inflammation[edit]

Low HDL-C[edit]
study of 41 patients with bipolar disorder, 34 patients with major depression, or controls[1]
results showed:
- all patients had significantly lower HDL-C values than control subjects
- Increased TG levels were found in patients with bipolar disorder compared to healthy subjects.
- no differences in the cholestrol and LDL-C levels and body mass index
- significant differences in the ratios of cholesterol/HDL-C and LDL- C/HDL-C values (atherogenic index) among groups.
- conclusion: low HDL-C levels and high atherogenic index might be a hallmark of affective disorders
RECOMMENDATIONS:[edit]
supplements[edit]
amino acids[edit]
carnitine[edit]
-may be a biomarker https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34658942/
vitamins[edit]
vitamin D[edit]
- Increased circulating 25(OH)D concentrations following 8-week vitamin D supplementation (50,000 IU 2wks−1) resulted in a significant decrease in BDI-II scores in patients with mild to moderate depression. However, this effect was independent of the serum concentrations of the studied inflammatory biomarkers. [2]
botanicals[edit]
rauwolfia[edit]
- used for the treatment of hypertension, it may be contraindicated due to lowering of catecholamines and neurotransmitters https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4566472/
fish Oil:[edit]
- EPA 4 g/d in MDD demonstrated a medium effect size for response rates versus placebo in overweight individuals with elevated inflammatory markers, and change in hs-CRP may be correlated with clinical response. [3]
Depression[edit]
Dysthymia[edit]
Bipolar disorder[edit]

Mood disorder due to a general medical condition and substance-induced mood disorder[edit]
PMDD[edit]
- low 5a-pregnanediol can be a contributing factor to PMDD and irritability due to issues with the GABA receptor's inability to adjust for sensitivity to fluctuating neurosteroids . This metabolite can cross the blood-brain-barrier and binds to GABA receptors, supporting a calming effect. Women who metabolize their progesterone through this pathway with lower levels of 5a-pregnanediol may benefit best from oral progesterone for symptoms of anxiety and difficulty sleeping .[4]
