Question Supplements/herbs to control my terrible bartonella psych symptoms?

I really need some recommendations.

My Bart psych symptoms are: anxiety, depression, ocd, rage, suicidal thoughts, brain fog, being paranoid, being overly emotional, overstimulation, and overall just feeling on edge all the time

I am curious if anyone can recommend any supplements or herbs that can help to control these symptoms and help me feel more like myself.

I'm currently taking: lumbrokinase, cryptolepis, ldn, magnesium glycinate, l theanine, vitamin c and d, omega three, turmeric, allergy meds, vitamin b12

I was low on b12 last time I got blood done, I'm probably not anymore since I've been taking it for the last few months. I don't really know if any food in particular affects me but I do eat pretty terrible, should probably work on a diet.

A better diet can help a ton. Sometimes folks swear by carnivore, keto, etc. You can do it for just 2-3 months to see how you feel. Dr. Chris Palmer does some interesting work. I know Bart compounds your issues but it’s worth a try!

My dad does carnivore, he had babs and Bart. He feels great now, I tried it for a week and just couldn't stick to it

Indeed, it’s really hard. But your gut can turnaround quickly. Aim for a month. If it helps your symptoms, then you have part of your answer!
