Dr. McMullen: Thank you so much for all of your valuable time and energy you put into making these videos. Not many psychiatrists seem to be aware of, or knowledgeable about, alternative options. I appreciate your drive to assist people.

This advice is actually very accurate and extremely helpful. I follow the lifestyle things in combination with medical intervention, and they truly do help. I still have depression and stuff, but these tips do make a positive difference.

This guy knows what he's talking about. Period.

Thank you so much. This is the only video that has so much useful content. My psychiatrist never covers because he charges are so high and it goes up be every five minutes. Extremely helpful. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank You for providing hope to those of us who need it most.

I’ve been suffering from depression for about 15yrs-off and on, all my life. Born with a rare genetic disorder, severe child abuse, substance abuse in family-all led to me burying myself in my dreams; medicine, academics, animals, then my own family..3 children, 2 abusive marriages, career ended because of physical issues associated with my genetic disorder..then, my abusive, alcoholic ex kidnapped my children & took them overseas, 2nd husband left with a 19yr old doppelgänger & former patient, lost health insurance and was basically homeless within a year after a spinal injury costing almost $400K, 2 violent rapes, 1 fire, sudden loss of fiancé, 2 miscarriages, completely disowned by family who had called me ugly, deformed, worthless, stupid, and hopeless, since VERY young...just a FEW of The situational things I’ve been through in 60 years. I’ve also been diagnosed with ADD which I was diagnosed with after my son was diagnosed very young and it was found to be a part of the pathophys of our genetic disorder. SSRI’s made me worse. Have been on remeron off & on for 25 years. Majority of last 15 years have been spent in bed, no friends in my small town, no psych who accepts Medicaid in my area. No suicidal ideation, except, I’ve made the decision to not have diagnostics, feeling if something happens, it happens. I eat, sleep, and shower very irregularly-but, always have, at least the sleep part, because of my past VERY active, busy life. I don’t drink, smoke or do “drugs” although I’ve been on & off prescription opiates for the severe pain related to my genetic disorder and prior injuries related to it. I’m currently using kratom because it works better for my inflammation and neuropathic pain than opiates. I DO try and keep my mind busy-I’ve always been addicted to learning new things and reading. I had started studying chinese about 3 years ago and have made quite a few online friends and “feed” my “volunteer bug”, (for over 30 years I volunteered very frequently with both human and animal organizations) by teaching some Chinese kids about the US, in return, I’ve learned a LOT of Chinese history and culture. My own kids, now in their 30’s, in the once every year or two phone calls, say how much they love me, they’re sorry they haven’t been in touch but they’ve been busy, promise to call and probably visit-then I hear nothing from them for another year. I haven’t seen my oldest or youngest in over 15 years, my middle daughter, about 8 years. They’ve made plans several times, but cancelled at the last minute when something comes up. (They live down South, all 3 make decent money). They have cited my “over-reaction” to missing them, or getting upset when my eldest backed out of a visit to go to a fancy beach house with a friend-as the reason for the distance between us. Also, after not hearing from one for 2 years, we ended up talking for over an hour. I had honestly thought she was enjoying our conversation because we laughed, caught-up, and when I told her I HAD to get to an appt..she was upset. Later, my son said not to expect to hear from her for awhile because she was upset that I kept her on the phone so long. I’d LOVE to get better..although I’m fully aware my physical condition likely won’t improve much. I’ve even been offered a job in China I could do from home. There’s also a research team from Johns Hopkins, who studies our genetic disorder, who moved to Beijing when Federal funding was cut. They’ve said they could get me a medical visa and likely help me extend both my mobility and my one kidney. I’ve tried most of the dietary suggestions and supplements; but fear I’m stuck in living what life I have left here in this tiny town, living in a tiny dump, mainly in my bedroom. At least I DO have my kitty though. We are extremely close and she and my Chinese friends bring me my only bursts of happiness. I COULD go to inpatient in Scranton-but I have no one to care for my Leela..and couldn’t afford $20/day (I checked) to bring in a local pet sitter. Unfortunately, locals here do NOT like me because, after my fiancé passed suddenly, some friends from home came here to check on me and comfort me. My town is NOT accepting of people with melanin in their skin and as recently as 2 years ago, I was reminded by a neighbor, that my “terrorist friends” are not welcome here. (Some friends were, American, but ethnically Indian. Unfortunately, racism rules over rational thought here). And no. No one knows what I’m dealing with. As my parents told me for almost 50 years, “no one wants to hear YOUR problems elaine-deal with it.”. I do, the best I can. I just wish things were different.

Thankyou Sir for taking the time to make this video it really helps people

I’ve isolated myself in my condo for a year. I’m concerned I’m depressed because often I don’t get out of bed for days. Having said that, I feel comfortable with it. At 74 I find the people I use to hang around with very depressing. Whining about their aches and pains. I use to be a social butterfly but I don’t find the need any more. I won’t take antidepressants.

Would love to have this P doc...so knowledgeable and seems like a nice guy...thanks for the great advice not something you hear every day.

That first bit of advice is something I so strongly struggle with. I've been in this deep depression for quite awhile, and I feel like, at this juncture, I have completely vacated the few friendships that I did have, and am far, far too embarrassed to try and reconnect with individuals that I know have long since likely determined I'm sort of rude and/ or don't care. I am in my early twenties, but in so many ways, I feel so old and ran down. I feel like I'm struggling to just get to my part time job everyday, much less trying to actively socialize. I suppose I'm just trying to vent. I am so thankful and excited to finally attend my first psychiatric appointment in a few weeks. I feel like I've been operating at 30%-40% or less for at least the past 3 years, and I'm so ready to feel better.

i've been vegan 33 years and still get depressed i'm doing fasting to clean the mucus in my blood that puts pressure on my brain its all journey but confident it will work!

Dr . McMullen, l have been on pretty much every antidepressant, antipsychotics, bipolar 1 meds and all the anti anxiety medications available. About 8-9 years ago I became med-resistant which, in turn, caused me to develop Agoraphobia. I've been through so many types of therapy --the specialist helped, however he became much too expensive. Then I saw your posts /videos talking about TMS. I'm on Medicare for Healthcare Assistance since I have so much panic about leaving the house thanks to the Agoraphobia. I began to read everything I could find about cost, procedure, length of time etc...Quite a few Psychiatrists and Doctors mentioned that the procedure is paid for by Medicare as long as the patient is on it. Well this is not true. It depends on what state or city TMS procedure is done. I had to ask my Dad and Mum for help because I certainly don't have over $10,000 which is what every office charged last year for TMS. Well, I ended up going into my savings to help with payments. It did absolutely nothing for me. I'm still extremely depressed, passionless ,I used to be an Artist who showed works in galleries, anxiety, still Agoraphobic with not a friend anywhere. Dr . McMullen when I was getting TMS there was a lady that was being trained and she was the one placing the head gear on my head and many times it would be wrong then I'd get that horrible feeling of electronic voltage /lightening bolts of pain right into my head while my arm is having an epileptic fit as I'm telling her " wrong SPOT! " . I only saw the guy who did the original measurements once. I think he was a Psychiatrist, can't remember, but I do remember being given painful lightening bolts that would blast through my head and make me jump up out of my seat. I actually did get terrible migraines two weeks into TMS. I have to see a Neurologist and take another medication 2 X day since I did TMS. One more thing , they did BOTH sides of my head every time I went in . They said left side is for depression, right side for anxiety. That seems to be an over-stimulation of the brain. I would appreciate it if you could give me some of your thoughts on what occurred during my TMS sessions. Trying something new. Taking myself off meds with assistance of Psych.Dr.

you dont have to feel ok ALL the time. That's exactly one of the problems pushing some people into medication too fast.

@rabbster7

Agree. It took me probably nearly ten years to finally allow myself to go on medication. It was a decision that took me many years to make and I don't regret it. It's helped me so much. I researched what I'm taking and I'm not on a crazy dose, just a standard dose of one medication. Once you've made an informed decision and believe it's helping you, you shouldn't feel any shame. Although I will say my mentality still is the hope of one day coming off my medication. I hope it can facilitate me getting my life together, which it is, and then when I'm in a strong position I hope to be able to come off of my medication. At least I have some sort of plan anyway. But I feel no shame for taking medication anyway.

Thank you. I have been through the wringer.

I'm curious if you've tried things like the Fisher Wallace or Alpha Stim. Is that what you were you referring to at around the 25:00 mark? Thanks.

Do you mean "hear"?

I take major issue with the “don’t talk about things just distract yourself” I did this for decades and things just built up. If you don’t talk you can’t challenge bad thoughts, I doubt many people can change their thinking just in their own head. You need someone to bounce stuff off and really start understanding things differently. Only bad therapy is just rehashing problems.

Dr. McMullen: Thanks for your videos. Have a question. I am taking 200mg Sertralin for my MDD. It works a little bit but not all the way. Proposal for supplementary medicine?

I get Ketamine infusions and they work, but you are absolutely right that they are cost prohibitive. The ones I started out with cost me 850 a session and I needed a course of six to follow Stanford protocol. With the free booster it equaled out to 650 a session but still. Now I pay a lot less but there’s a catch.

It feels like I never even received the treatments because a week later I experienced symptoms that lasted 3 weeks!

If you come back to read comments, Dr. M: ANY Connection between inflammation and depression? I have had to use antihistamines for ongoing allergic reaction for several years, at least 12. Depression creeps up during winter months and recedes with summer weather but only if I keep up with antihistamines. Now find I have exercise induced asthma, too.

friend is luxury for me.

I have an interesting idea. Since ketamine is now known to alleviate depression but it can't be used in clinic ,why don't doctors use it as the primary anesthetic or adjunctively in ECT as an augmentation strategy. It might limited the need multiple sessions and improve outcomes.

Where do you get high dosage EPA fish oil at a cheaper price? 10g per day is like $230/month. Does insurance cover it ever?

It's extremely difficult when you suffer MDD/ptsd as well as fibro/cfids which hinders physical functioning and accomplishing daily tasks. which only makes worthlessness and depression far worse. I am in severe depression @ 55 , not only for myself but bc I am an empath and all of the pain and suffering I see in the world, especially to defenseless animals , is crushing. The pain is overwhelming, as an empath, I feel it all. I am struggling to hang on, there is no access to mental health help where I live, it is prohibitively expensive and I lost medical assistance bc my income is a mere $99 dollars per month above the income cap, so I fell off a cliff five-six years ago and stopped being able to access health care despite being disabled bc the 20% is far too high on my monthly income, SSDI is not enough to rent more than a room. I cannot afford out of pocket and do not qualify for help. People like me fall through the cracks, a hairsbreath above poverty income line. It's the worst illness in the world bc it's invisible and people blame you for having MDD, they wouldn't blame you for having cancer, yet many of us suffer unwillingly from this horrible disease. I don't want to die but the emotional pain and sadness is unrelenting and worsens as I get older. Some days the sadness and anxiety are so overwhelming that all I can do is reassure myself that some day I will pass away and it will be over. I found a tms psych and did an intake but she was cold and harsh, I am still going to try as I am desperate.

CBT didn't work for me and medication doesn't do much better and I do EMDR but can only afford to go every 2 weeks but it doesn't seem to help much with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. It's ok for people with mild to moderate depression maybe but not sure about underlying depression because I have double depression and child trauma. I have had 7 nervous breakdowns or major depression. My psychiatrist calls me every 6 months and just calls to see how I am feeling, what meds I am on and then says a depressed mind will focus on the negative and then tells me to continue and he will call in 6 months time. I don't know why I have him because he just wants to keep increasing my med and even tried me on anti pyschotics and I am not psychotic and just got fatter. I am at a loss. I have read that alot of people have benefited from psychedelics assisted therapy containing psilocybin. I want to try TMS but it's in another province and cost $3000. So many people suffer needlessly.

So ok, just to share that many people out there doesn't have friend's.So then what ok, then you should join a Hospital or a church or even go over to the homeless shelter and help out and stay busy !!!!!!!!!!!! And not just that but, find out what kind of music you like and start listening to that music and even try to sing along with it or even try to play some intrument's even though you may not know how to play or even sing but again just do it and don't care how people may care about, just do it for yourself just like you have to feed yourself and even take a shower or sleep or even go and sit on the toilet by yourself etc, etc. People need to learn that there is many thing's in this life that we yes do by us self's and we don't have anybody else to do it for us. Ok, like if you would go swimming ok, you be swimming and swimming by yourself so ok, I think that I have made my point here so anyway...............................................learn about life and ok, learn about how people did live before in history like the people then who got shipped with the train over to the ok, consentraition camps in Poland etc, etc so again.............................it's a lot to learn and be open minded about how special you are for being only you and only you and you can't ever be somebody else and also that you only have this chans to live this life because it will end someday and then it is over forever so again.........................live and enjoy for who you are.

@Liz bth Ok I will look into those things. Thanks! I also try different ways to meditate and what seems to work better for my energy and anxiety is when I concentrate on something like the sound of a fan for example. But I can't speak for everybody of course because some people feel that meditating a different way works for them.

What if you’re clinically depressed and don’t want to try to get better but to die????? Doesn’t make sense to me that it’s always talked about diet and exercise as if an ill person cares enough to do any of those things

Yep I get that. It can seem stupid when you're actually clinically depressed to suggest things like exercise and eating clean. He has to say it anyway because research time and time again shows it does make a positive difference towards alleviating depression, doesn't cure it at all, but does make some difference, but still when you're in the pits of depression it's just very unlikely that you'll have that motivation. He needs to acknowledge that definitely. We all know well we don't do healthy things like eating nutritionally and getting out for a run when we're extremely depressed. We just don't.
