How to help the mentally ill.

So much is wasted because of mental disease, and efforts to help are often fruitless.
To deal with the anxiety and fear, one can intervene in the GABA biochemical system (the same system in which Valium works). A central neurotransmitter here is glutamate, which maybe works improperly or is lacking in mentally ill persons. Glutamate is a common spice, often added to foods, for instance in potato chips in the form of monosodium glutamate (MSG). So there is a real possibility to help mentally ill people, with a remedy so simple as doling out potato chips!

(This is beside the fact that following God's law is the best way for people to avoid mental illness.)

Yours sincerely,

"Glutamate itself serves as metabolic precursor for the neurotransmitter GABA, via the action of the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase."
