Hi @milk, have you read Weston Price's 1930's book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration"?
Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
In the book the dentist Weston Price travels the world examining traditional versus modern diets and looking at teeth and facial bones of the people on these diets.
He wrote of a mysterious fat soluble nutrient that was missing from the flour, jam and canned goods diet of his times.
He found this essential nutrient in the butter of grass-fed cows. Administering it to a group of underprivileged US children corrected many oral and facial problems.
We now believe it was vitamin k2. You can get this from aged cheddar or parmesan, but if you do not like dairy, then the book suggests that various seafoods and / or greens also provide it. eg. the traditional Maori and Fijian diets provided excellent nutrition.
Ray Peat's love of dairy may have been influenced by Weston Price's work.
The book may give you some ideas of foods to try.
I agree with @Constatine that the SSRI's were probably hiding the problem.
