To confirm whether you have candida, you should take William Crook's Candida Questionnaire shown at this link:
Dr OC Truss wrote the first breakthrough book on candida problems in the 1980s called 'The Missing Diagnosis'. Here is what Dr Orian Truss, a candida specialst, believes are the most common symptoms of candida:
“The most common manifestations [of candida], in addition to anxiety and inappropriate depression, may include: bloating, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, vaginitis (aggravated by antibiotics and birth control pills), urethritis, cystitis and other skin problems (acne, hives, diaper rash, oral thrush, athlete’s foot, jock itch, nail infections), chronic fatigue, chemical intolerance to food and inhaled chemicals, headaches (migraine and sinus), nasal, sinus, and bronchial allergies, menstrual disorders, decreased libido and impotence, premenstrual tension, and impairment of short term memory and concentration as well."
From more recent research, Dr William Shaw has also discovered that fungal toxins -- called mycotoxins -- can also directly be the cause mental as well as physical problems. Some of these mental problems seemingly caused by fungal toxins are: Autism, OCD, SLE, Altzheimer's Disease, Bipolar Problems, Dementia, ADHD etc. To see the full list of mental and other diseases caused by waste toxins from candida/bacterial infections see this link.
So if you can get rid of your fungal and bacterial infections from your body then the majority of your problems -- including mental problems, brain fog, lethargy and insomnia -- will most likely also be resolved.
There is a useful antifungal/antibacterial protocol shown on EC at this link.

I would list DH's problems separate from yours to keep things neat and tidy (being your OCD. lol) Have you gone to the remedies section and start listing all the things people do for different ailments? That can be helpful. I think as you read your intuition may direct you since it is already smart and telling you not to use conventional psych meds. Yay, you! I have depression on and off. I can feel when my synapsis is off and I am depressed. I was on psych meds for years and felt horrible all the time. I weaned myself off med via TrueHope method but I did not keep up with the supplements. I lost my job and this sent me into a depression. I started on the supplements again and also worked with a holistic psychiatrist. I took additional amino acids, Omega 3, Vit D (6000 mg-- my levels were lower than the lowest accepted). I also found taking add on's of 5HTP and Gaba worked well for ME. I was taking about 40 vits a day when I was really low. I would suggest to go through the book Nutrition Power by Welsh. It is highly technical but it points out the different kinds of depression there are. Some people are sensitive to copper, some need zinc, some make too much histimine. That is why some things do not work for some people and work for others. I would not suggest getting the book on on a kindle as it is more difficult to read that way. Another book I found helpful was the Mood Cure but Nutrition Power, despite being technical, really helped me an awful lot. Also meditation helped me a lot. It helps me raise my vibration (if that makes sense) and not have my mood bounce around so much. I know I should exercise more but I do not. Let me know how you're progressing and best wishes to you. ~jillery
