A Story of Depression at Altitude

A 28 year old, wrote to us and shared his story:

He grew up in Utah and struggled with depression and anxiety throughout his youth. Depression held him back in his studies and extracurricular activities. In his early twenties, he traveled to the Dominican Republic for 2.5 years and shared that his depression and anxiety symptoms subsided. Upon returning to Utah, however, his symptoms returned. He currently struggles with depression and anxiety, but has not been able to find a medication to help him overcome his symptoms.

About This Project

We hypothesize that the administration of two widely available, naturally occurring dietary supplements, in addition to standard antidepressant therapy, will reduce severity of depression in individuals residing at higher altitudes. The Intermountain West is known for depression and suicide rates that are higher than the national average and it is important that we investigate more effective novel treatments for individuals who reside at elevation.
