Please do not recommend weed

And if you say alcohol you’re a very fine comedian

    L-theanine and magnesium lt-dbyf-dubois help mildly with anxiety

    If you’re deficient in vitamin D (quite common), taking a vitamin D supplement might make you feel somewhat better

    Some people see some benefit from supplementing 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan, precursor to serotonin in the body)

    Sadly not a whole lot of options tbh :(

      5-htp only improves serotonin in the digestive tract as neither it, nor serotonin will cross the blood-brain barrier.

      Which isn’t to say it can’t improve somebody’s mental health. We focus way too much on the brain.
