The Same Barrier Collapses Everywhere: Why Dysbiosis Causes ADHD, Brain Fog, Anxiety, Depression, and Chronic Fatigue Simultaneously—And Why You Can't Treat Them Separately The Discovery That Changes — Part 5: Why Conventional Treatment Fails—And Why You Can’t Treat the Symptoms While Ignoring the Root

The Problem With Treating Phenotypes Separately Current psychiatric and neurological practice treats these phenotypes as independent diseases: ADHD gets stimulants (dopamine agonists) Depression gets SSRIs (serotonin agonists) Anxiety gets SSRIs or benzodiazepines Chronic fatigue gets activity coaching (&#8221;push through it&#8221;) Brain fog gets... nothing. It&#8217;s not recognized as a disease. The structural problem: All of these treatments work at the symptomatic level (neurotransmitter adjustment) while ignoring the root cause (dysbiosis-induced barrier failure, microglial dysmaturation, and mitochondrial collapse). It&#8217;s like: Treating someone&#8217;s cough without addressing pneumonia Treating fever without treating the infection Treating jaundice without treating liver failure The result: Partial response, treatment resistance, and symptom persistence despite multiple drug trials. What Happens When You Treat Root First When you restore SCFA production (by restoring the dysbiotic microbiota), you simultaneously: Restore tight junction protein expression in gut AND brain &#8594; barrier resealing in both locations Drive microglial maturation &#8594; shift from hyperactive pro-inflammatory to homeostatic surveilling state Restore GABA, dopamine, serotonin, and BDNF synthesis &#8594; neurotransmitter tone normalizes Restore acetyl-CoA availability &#8594; mitochondr
