A short YouTube segment (Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka) discussing characteristics of anxiety and a possible genetic contributor. Gary Brecka suggests that anxiety present on-and-off across a lifetime, responsive to anti-anxiety medication, and lacking a clear trigger may be linked to an MTHFR gene mutation that impairs conversion of folic acid/folate into usable methylfolate; he states ~44% of the population cannot make this conversion and links the deficiency to depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, OCD, bipolar spectrum conditions.

If you've ever suffered from or know someone who suffered from anxiety, see if it fits these three characteristics. Number one, have you had it on and off throughout your entire lifetime? Can you point to the specific trigger that causes it and have anti anxiety medications work for you? You very likely want to get a test for this gene mutation called mthfr. What it does is it converts folic acid and folate into the form that the body can use called methylfolate. But if you're one of the 44% of the population that can't make this conversion, then you have a deficiency. You have this deficiency. You get the expression of things like depression, anxiety, add, adhd, ocd, manic depression, bipolar, all kinds of conditions that are actually not psychiatric conditions happening to you. They are psychiatric conditions happening within you.
