In this episode of Unstress Health, Dr Ron Ehrlich and Dr Marty Ross explore a different way of thinking about mental health.
Rather than looking only at psychiatric symptoms, they discuss how chronic infections, inflammation, mold toxicity, gut microbiome disruption and metabolic dysfunction may intersect with conditions such as depression and anxiety.
Dr Ross shares observations from his clinical experience treating people with chronic Lyme disease and related conditions, including the possible role of neuroinflammation, cytokines, the blood-brain barrier, tryptophan, serotonin, mitochondria and the limbic system.
They also discuss Long COVID, tick-borne infections such as Borrelia, Bartonella and Babesia, challenges around testing in Australia, and why listening carefully to a patient's history can be such an important part of healthcare.
