Oh, I understand! I've discovered that if anyone has a health issue, it's worth looking into how supplements might help.
My own reading of Niacin: the Real Story is a good example.. This is a nutrient (amino acid, really) that must be taken in supplement form because of the quantity needed. It has done absolute wonders for my anxiety where psychiatric drugs failed.
The book explains that the organism can be stressed -- in this case the brain -- so that normal function can require more nutrients than before the stress. His early patients were Canadian POWs who survived Japanese prison camps. Nothing worked as well as niacin; which enabled so many of them to recover and resume a normal life.
I can even see the clues, which is that pellagra is a disease of niacin insufficiency, and it's most striking symptoms is dramatically dysfunctional mental disorder. It's the most imperative reason why grain products are routinely supplemented.
