This is a YouTube video titled "The Root Cause of Mental Illness | Dr. Chris Palmer" featuring a discussion between Dr. Chris Palmer and another speaker about the metabolic dysfunction as a root cause of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. The conversation explores the biological basis of these disorders and related physical health issues.

What is the main thing that is driving depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar? What is the main root cause of those things?
At the end of the day, it is metabolic dysfunction. In a way, metabolism is biology. When your biology is off or when your metabolism is off, you are likely going to have signs or symptoms of a problem somewhere in your brain or body.
Really?
And that could be high blood pressure, high blood glucose in the form of prediabetes or diabetes. It could be obesity. It could be depression or anxiety.
