Is Your Anxiety, Depression Due to Loss of B6, Zinc–Pyrrole Disorder? (FULL)

Jul-03-2024
Anxiety, depression, and other mental distress can be caused by pyrrole disorder (aka pyroluria). How can this loss of zinc, Vitamin B6, and other nutrients be identified and treated?
“He suddenly developed anxiety, intrusive thoughts and images…[of] brutal things happening to his parents,” says Dr. Jingduan Yang MD, describing his then 9-year-old patient, who also suffered insomnia, restlessness, and low attention span.
A simple urine test of the boy confirmed much higher than normal kryptopyrrole in his system – a problem Dr. Yang sees in 50 to 70 percent of his patients; often severely impacting their mental health.
Dr. Yang is a psychiatrist and integrative medicine doctor who combines western medicine and holistic medicine, including acupuncture and advanced nutrient therapy in his practice.
“People come in with all kinds of diagnoses–bipolar disorder, major depression, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective [disorder], and all kinds of things,” he says. “But nobody…[asked if] there was an underlying biochemical imbalance contributing to a critical nutritional deficiency, he adds.”
Dr. Yang joins Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon to highlight pyrrole disorder as an overarching cause of mental disorder.
What signs would alert parents to pyrrole disorder in their children? And where does the 9-year-old treated with advanced nutrient therapy stand now, five years later?
