If you have depression, GABA is often a cause of depression and rumination or perseverating thoughts. Do you have trouble sleeping? If you have trouble sleeping, GABA may be also involved here because GABA is here to help you relax, recover and rejuvenate. Other kinds of things, anxiety, fear, depression, short temper, phobias.

impulsiveness, disorganization, addictions, migraines, and insomnia, they're all associated with GABA deficiency. And if you're having some of these symptoms, it could be that you're GABA deficient and don't know it. Unfortunately, Most clinicians aren't going that route.

If you have anxiety, they're thinking about giving you maybe something that affects the GABA system, like a benzodiazepine, like Xanax or Ativan or Valium, but they're not thinking about how you can support the GABA system so that you can work on your anxiety without using those potential very challenging and very addictive medications. The same thing goes with depression.

We know now that depression is not a serotonin deficiency. Certainly we know that taking something like an SSRI can be helpful in patients with depression. There's no doubt about that. There's good studies to show that, but we also know that depression is not a serotonin deficiency. This is actually something that came out over the last couple of years.

And it's shocking in the sense that we thought we were giving a medicine to help with depression because people had a serotonin deficiency, but they do not. However, do these patients have a GABA deficiency? The answer is very likely possible. In fact, a new drug was just approved over the last six months to be used in postpartum depression.

And it's a GABA-A agonist, meaning it works on the GABA system and it works extremely fast. Unlike SSRIs and SNRIs, these other newer generation antidepressants, GABA medications work very fast to optimize the inhibitory side of the brain. And what's also interesting as well is that if you have anxiety or depression, you have about double the number of thoughts that an average person has in a day.

Now, the average person in a day has about 70,000 thoughts per day. If you're anxious or you're depressed, you have 120, 140,000 thoughts per day. Please don't believe everything that you think. This is a lot of thoughts, John. And so what the GABAergic system is doing, GABA is doing, it's like the gate. It's the waylay station. They're called interneurons, I-N-T-E-R, neurons.
