	B vitamins and Side Effects of Megavitamins
		Megavitamin therapy of mental illness is based upon the fact that deficiencies of B vitamins are known to be capable of causing a diverse range of mental symptoms.

		When it comes to vitamin B treatment of mental disease the overwhelming impression gleaned from these studies is that the dosage and combination of B vitamins are of paramount importance, a fact which is typically illustrated by the detailed study of Brenner (98).
