Aracnae, it sounds like a lot of your childhood pain could have been diet-induced, and perhaps still is. Research has found that 90% of a person's serotonin is created in the "gut", so this idea that low levels of serotonin in the body is not a brain issue. If you were eating things as a child that caused inflammation of your stomach and intestines, you probably developed "leaky gut" - yes, it's a real term and real health practitioners know about it. They just happen to a minority group. I really encourage you to Google the research and articles. You can heal a leaky gut with time and the right approach, but first you need to work with someone who even knows about (most doctors poo-poo the idea.) Also, just because you might eat something that might be "GOOD" for people (say, spinach), if you have a food intolerance you could be unknowingly making yourself ill. And by "ill," I'm referring to metabolic and mental issues, not a tummy or head ache.

Anway, if you are serotonin depleted, taking an SSRI or other would only be treating the symptom instead of the cause.

Hope that's helpful.
Thanks for this!
