This article will be quite controversial to allopathic physicians who only treat illness with FDA-approved medications. However, some psychiatrists are more attuned to off-label or alternative treatments.
Several vitamin deficiencies have been linked to mental health issues. Here are some notable ones:
1. **Vitamin B12**: Deficiency can lead to cognitive decline, memory issues, and mood disturbances such as depression.
2. **Folate (Vitamin B9)**: Low levels are associated with depression and increased risk of mental disorders.
3. **Vitamin D**: Deficiency has been linked to depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
4. **Omega-3 Fatty Acids**: While not a vitamin, low levels can contribute to depression and cognitive decline.
5. **Vitamin B6**: Important for neurotransmitter synthesis; deficiency can lead to irritability and depression.
Maintaining a balanced diet rich in these vitamins can help support mental health. If you suspect a deficiency, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
The Shamanic View of ‘Mental Illness’: Birth of a Healer
There is a distinct difference between 'healers' and physicians. Some physicians are healers. They call themselves "alternative medicine" or "integrative medicine".

Masliah appeared as an ideal selection. The physician and neuropathologist conducted research at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for decades, and his drive, curiosity, and productivity propelled him into the top ranks of scholars on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. His roughly 800 research papers, many on how those conditions damage synapses, the junctions between neurons, have made him one of the most cited scientists in his field. His work on topics including alpha-synuclein—a protein linked to both diseases—continues to influence basic and clinical science.
After Science brought initial concerns about Masliah’s work to their attention, a neuroscientist and forensic analysts specializing in scientific work who had previously worked with Science produced a 300-page dossier revealing a steady stream of suspect images between 1997 and 2023 in 132 of his published research papers. (Science did not pay them for their work.) “In our opinion, this pattern of anomalous data raises a credible concern for research misconduct and calls into question a remarkably large body of scientific work,” they concluded.
Following an investigation, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has made findings of research misconduct against Eliezer Masliah, M.D., due to falsification and/or fabrication involving re-use and relabeling of figure panels representing different experimental results in two publications. NIH will notify the two journals of its findings so that appropriate action can be taken. NIH initiated its research misconduct review process in May 2023 after it received allegations from the HHS Office of Research Integrity (ORI) that same month. NIH began its investigation phase in December 2023, concluded its investigation of these allegations on September 15, 2024, and notified HHS ORI of its findings.
Dr. Masliah joined the agency in the summer of 2016 as director of the Division of Neuroscience (DN) at the National Institute on Aging and an NIH intramural researcher investigating synaptic damage in neurodegenerative disorders. He has published numerous papers as an NIH intramural researcher. Currently, Dr. Masliah is not serving in the capacity of director of the NIA DN.
These findings alert those who depend upon peer-reviewed articles that are always subject to questioning and challenge. That is the scientific method.
