• Saffron, ashwagandha, and L-theanine: the mood supplements with genuine randomized controlled trial evidence
• The loneliness epidemic: why social isolation raises dementia risk by 50% — and practical strategies to reverse it
• The cortisol-mood spiral: how chronic stress in seniors produces a fundamentally different physiological response than in younger adults
• Medications that secretly cause depression: beta-blockers, statins, PPIs, and 4 others to review with your doctor
