This is why their are multiple randomized controlled trials showing methylation support decreases depression scores and why it is included in my depression protocol.
The ultimate how-to guide to obtain resilient mental health while boosting mitochondrial function instead of strangling it.

The first-line treatment for depression in modern society is SSRIs, but long-term SSRI use can cause sexual dysfunction, it can cause severe mitochondrial dysfunction in a rare subset of people...
...and years-long SSRI use leads to severe withdrawal syndromes becoming common and often leads to new-onset mitochondrial function that lasts years.
The mechanism of Tylenol toxicity is most likely inducing mitochondrial function by depleting mitochondrial glutathione and occurs biochemically at any dose.

Acetaminophen (paracetamol, N-acetyl-p-aminophenol, APAP) is used by 50 million American adults per week but in high doses contributes to centrilobular necrosis that results in 10,000 hospital visits and 500 deaths per year, accruing direct costs of almost $90 million annually [5, 7].
The mechanisms of acetaminophen-induced hepatic necrosis have been reviewed in [7], listed at end.
