Turmeric did not agree with me, but for the majority of people who try it there are benefits. It is primarily an anti-inflammatory. The exact benefits someone will get vary. But obviously, any reduction of systemic inflammation or nervous system inflammation is going to allow the whole works to perform better, and thus less symptoms of all kinds. Supplements substances that would seem to have nothing to do with psychiatry can have decent psychiatric benefits. That's why I'm always preaching think outside the box, try stuff, expand the boundaries beyond just psychiatry alone. Health and the workings of the human brain are just too complicated to fit neatly in one category or one box.
