"A University of Paris research study proves that in brain tissue (neuron cell) cultures, the production of the brain neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, can be increased by adding NADH to the culture medium.
The study's results showed that adding NADH yields a six-fold increase in the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine. It was also found coenzyme NADH stimulates the production of many different brain neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinephrine or noradrenaline, and serotonin."
Wouldn't NADH be harmful for bipolars/schizophrenics?
L-Theanine looks promising; I'm wary of Tyrosine, i.e., hypomania. Fish oil is an excellent addition IMO because it looks to be beneficial in such a wide range of disorders. Considering misdiagnosis and the fatty acid imbalance of most Americans, everyone should be taking it. I take 1-2 gms/day currently. In the past I've taken Lecithin, and everything was much too vivid and intense. I felt hypomania developing.

I've often told my counselors that I have a hidden, dormant, inaccessible genius, and also the potential for psychosis. I've seen only glimpses of each, with daily life never showing me the full effects of either. I'm too holistic, irrational, emotional, intuitive etc.
I'm deficient in language, logic, math etc. I cannot bring to light the glorious intuitions, truths, and ideas that I hold inside.
In the words of Charles Darwin, I'm confined to a living grave.
Supplements, nutraceticals, nutrients, nootropics etc. seem to be the only link to my desired effect. The short term effects could be long term effects if they were taken consistently throughout life ;)
