Interesting stuff.
i think i have low BDNF levels. At risk of sounding simplistic, my appetite often is virtually nonexistent and i feel that i have been getting progressively stupider for the past few years or so (esp. in regard to memory and stuff)-- not to mention that i've been depressed out of my freaking my mind for years now. So i wonder. But anyway...
Can you offer any suggestions for trying things that might help stimulate BDNF formation/secretion? Exercise is almost definitely a good one. i've also actually read once that garlic can increase BDNF levels. Other than that-- and antidepressants that are effective for a person, which isn't really that specific-- i have no knowledge about this. Any yous could further provide would be much appreciated.
