I think they are related, after reading the book "Dealing with Depression Naturally," talked about the "Dental Depression." I am now 29. I think I will have my filling removed asap. Other than selenium supplment, what would you suggest for me to detox? Or, is it possible to detox since it has been there for 21 years? Do u think my problem will be permanent? The book states that the filling will cause unique symthoms like extreme shyness, anxiety, timid, depression. I got all of these. Hope to here from you soon.

> sisyphus.People differ in both their sensitivity to mercury, and in how much mercury will leak from a dental restoration....if you're going to have the filling removed, ensure that the dentist doing so follows procedures which will minimize the amount of mercury you're exposed to during the removal.
Selenium supps remain the best method for protecting against the adverse effects of mercury. Chelation therapy is sometimes recommended, but I would only suggest it for acute exposure (as in an industrial accident or something), not chronic exposure from amalgam.
Reducing mercury exposure is a prudent thing to do, even if you don't feel noticeably better following the procedure.
Good luck,
