Hi, I am concerned for my mother’s health. She has been using anti depressants for a year now and I admit that it did not help that much. Furthermore, I have read about the possibility of brain cells dying because of those medications. I would like to know how does one stimulate neurogenesis?
Well, there are some anti depressants that cause that sort of problems but you have to be aware that loosing brain cells is something that happens all the time, especially to those that use neurological medications and also to those that suffer a lot of head injuries (boxers and martial arts practitioners for example). There are things that can stimulate neurogenesis (I heard that some meds have that effect) but I really think that you actually need a consultation with your mother’s doctor.
