It’s mind-blowing to me as a psychiatrist how revolutionary a premise it is in our field to treat fatigue as its own problem worthy of study and treatment, not just as a symptom of another disorder, as you point out, Matt. Thank you for this article highlighting the importance of metabolic psychiatry and for sharing some of your family’s journey with us. I have heard the executive director of NAMI Minnesota, Sue Abderholden, say “It’s not that our mental health system is broken, it’s that it hasn’t yet been built.” I share your wish that all of the patients who can benefit are one day able to access the services they need and deserve.
No one is treatment resistant. We are treatment deficient, and as was pointed out by Mr. Bernstein, because we are treating symptoms instead of energy (mitochondria). "The insulin signal predates the psychosis by 15 years." That statement jumped out to me. This may be true of most if not all metabolic disease.
