> I wonder what the mechanism might be for selenium causing more depression and irritability. I take it all the time for my mercury amalgam fillings and I would hate to think I'm making myself worse. Something with its oxidative function? Do you take other antioxidants with it? Ordinarily I would suggest magnesium for irritability, but I know you've said you've taken it in the past with little effect. (Have you tried other forms or brands?)
I wonder whether this might be something to do with it?"Methylation of selenium by both plants and animals serves to detoxify selenium by generating methylselenides"
could excess selenuim deplete the body of SAM?
