And I've heard that pdocs, in their typical fashion will prescribe Deplin, but do no research as to whether it will be effective. It costs a lot if money and frankly I would confirm it was necessary before getting it. Good luck.

My regular doctors just haven't been familiar with MTHFR polymorphism or Deplin, but no one has told me it's BS. I mean, you can prove a genetic defect exists with labs, and mainstream medicine has linked it to a number of problems--neural tube defects, colon cancer, certain types of heart disease.
I know it's anecdotal, but Deplin is literally the only medication that has ever helped my depression. Unfortunately, since insurance won't cover it, I can no longer afford the only thing that's ever helped me.
