Watched the interview of Tim Spector on the diary of a CEO podcast. he stated something along the lines of "if you check the gut health of people with mental health issues, 99% will have unbalanced gut" Probiotics was his first suggestion, started them that day, has made a huge improvement to my overall well being. Reduced many of the symptoms of CPTSD, Anxieties have subsided, and gut health has improved dramatically. ( I didn't know I had signs of poor guy health, but clearly did) Stomach aches/random pains GONE, bowel movements are now health, yeah I didn't know that was a thing. Gas is no longer all day everyday, it's not as smelly either. Sleep pattern and quality has improved a lot, which helps with energy and mood. I'm probably 3 months in and have started to eat prebiotic foods a lot more.

      I 100% don't think lobotomies were ever a good idea, they were barbaric and cruel and show the level of depravity that can be disguised as helping people. I never advocated for lobotomies and merely pointed out that meds were the latest solution presented by the same people who performed lobotomies. Have you ever checked the list of side effects for the most commonly prescribed meds for say, depression or anxiety? Have you ever checked how many of the side effects wipe out the gut biome? If there is any truth to what Doctor Tim Spector has to say, how might the side effects that are wiping out the gut play out in the mechanism of the body? Now can I misconstrue your words, are you saying that long term use of meds, that have stated side effects can't cause secondary more serious side effects? I would ask that you find peer reviewed analysis and replicate experiments to prove that? Are you saying that pharmaceutical companies operate from a position of only doing good for humanity and that profit is a secondary consideration? Do you have peer reviewed studies to back that up? Have you ever heard of The Sackler family, Purdue Pharma, oxycontin?

      Idk I've seen a lot of people not having success mentally from probiotic treatment. They still qualify for psychotropic treatment with their symptoms

        @CozyVibez I watched the devastation that meds caused to a loved ones mental health. So when it was my turn to go through the fire, meds were not an option for me. Meds replaced lobotomies around 1965, since then the issue of mental health has grown exponentially, suicide is the biggest killer of males in the UK and pharmaceutical usage is through the roof. The NHS spends the most money on pharma for immune system related illnesses, I wonder what percentage of people with these immune system illnesses had taken pharma prior to developing immune system issues.

          @honeybadger76 how can you be so sure that incidence of mental health issues have grown instead of awareness and acceptance along with improved patient-centered care? On what evidence do you base this? Men were (and still today) embarrassed by their peers if they showed signs of mental illness. People with schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders sufferred gruesome treatment and death at the hands of those whom they trusted. And I believe you about the increased suicide rate, but are you saying that lobotomies, a treatment that left patients in a vegetative state, is the better solution to mental illness instead of a less invasive method like pills that have proven to improve depression and anxiety? Meds aren't for everyone (and that's great!l, but I've seen them turn around the lives of others and myself for the better. And yes, some meds if improperly used can cause impaired immunity but not autoimmune diseases. I would ask you to first find peer reviewed analyses and replicated experiments on how meds have caused rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, human immunodeficiency virus, multiple sclerosis, Chron's disease, ulcerative colitis, etc. Before you jump to that conclusion.
