High-achiever, perfectionist type. Depression since youth — maybe since school. SSRIs helped somewhat, but folate or "healthy" B-complexes make things worse. Family often has unusually high-achieving members, or, conversely, addiction.

Is this me?
Histadelia ("undermethylation" in the English-language literature) is a biotype marked by excess histamine in the blood and a relative shortage of methyl groups in the central nervous system. Walsh's data shows this state increases activity of the serotonin transporter (SERT), which clears serotonin from the synapse too quickly. The brain ends up functionally low on serotonin — even though it is produced in normal amounts. In this profile, SSRIs have been observed to work better under the Walsh model — a doctor always decides on the suitability and effectiveness of treatment. **A high folate intake can make symptoms worse for some people** (discuss any change in supplementation with your doctor) — it raises SERT activity independently of methylation. So "healthy" B-complexes or heavy leafy-green intake can, paradoxically, worsen depression in people with histadelia. Clinically: long-standing depression since youth, perfectionism, obsessive thinking, seasonal allergies, strong willpower, high-achiever type. Family history often includes addiction or suicidal tendencies.
Next step
This path isn't about buying five supplements right away. First confirm the area that best matches your symptoms. Only then does it make sense to act on the result with supplements or a consultation.

The test is only the start — the real value comes once you pair the result with a consultation and targeted nutritional support for your biotype. Here are the usual next steps.
