> Unlike doxycycline, minocycline has robust anti-inflammatory effects in the brain. I am guessing that's why it helped me with bipolar depression. I had to discontinue it after two years, though. I began to show dark spots on my feet and shins (hyperpigmentation). Some mental illnesses are associated with brain inflammation, including depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. I am not saying that minocycline works by reducing brain inflammation, but it is a possibility.Minocycline also reduces or modulates glutamate activity. This might be even or important for treating schizophrenia.
