I met a clinically-diagnosed "bipolar". Prolonged research via PubMed suggests the condition is very often a cynical fraud+hoax, used to explain/excuse/justify:immoraldeceitfulviciousunreasonablevindictiveirrationalunpredictableself-centeredselfishvile/evil misconduct, to procure drugs/welfare checks/attention/sympathy.Advice how to deal with these cheats: RUN! Shun them immediately. Forever. It'll save time & grief. Find someone worthy of your kindness/affection. You've been warned!

orthomolecular medicine is based off the notion that you are somehow malnourished and that the toxic crap in you and lack of healthy foods is responsible for your mental illness. However no vitamin supplement can give you mental insight, maturity, spiritual awareness or self love. Consider yourself lucky if a vitamin cocktail fixes your mind. I tried nutritional therapy back in the late 1990s and it helped a little but it was not the definitive solution. Meditation is what worked for me.

you really want to know what I take? Nothing. I take nothing. From age 18 to about age 21 I was a hardcore marijuana user. Marijuana kept the voices and the rage quiet and made me a nice enough person to be able to keep a 9-5 job.However I started practicing hardcore meditation around the age of 21. What I took was time, time off from career, friends and a social life in order to meditate, control my thoughts and find spiritual peace and balance. After that I never needed any drugs again.

WHOA! I was on an anti-pesticide campaign in 1989. Pesticides started out as chemical warfare agents at the end of WW2, and the war petered out before the got to sell much of it, so they diluted it some and marketted it as pesticide. The agrichem biz is very very powerful. I had no clue that this was another manifestation of that sick product.

you are very welcome :) I consider myself lucky, as a teen with bipolar in the late 80s I was only on 3 drugs at a time, these days the *bipolar children* are on 3-7 or more!were you aware that originally antipsychotic chemical compound were marketed as a pesticide by Du Pont in 1935? "Phenothiazine pesticides work by affecting the nervous system of insects" yea, no kidding! now it's standard drug of choice for pesky and irritating children and seniors!

No kidding - the side effects of meds did a lot more to invalidate my own grip on sanity than the problems they were supposed to help with. I lost track of time, talked funny, and even my breathing was affected (not good for a scuba diver). Know what they gave me for side effects? More drugs! Thanks for sharing this.

I am big fan of proper diet and nutrition, don't get me wrong, I used to chain smoke, drink 40-80 ounces of caffeine a day, I ate a lot of red meat and walked around dehydrated. I 've learned a lot since I was in my late teens early 20s about how to make your mind better by proper nutrition. For me it took more than quitting meat or drinking water to be healed.I recommend chi gung also spelled qi gong to heal from your damage. It helps with the fog and rebuilds your nerves.

ya your right, many do have to stay on it. Some do not. I can't tolerate the stuff, only a bit here and there, and have been doing holosync meditation to help heal & the brain damage from the meds. Everyone needs proper nutrition, most don't get it from processed foods and meds deplete you as well. your doing great. me, I have a long ways to go re the extensive damage done to my brain and body from their drugs and their pesudoscience and DSM most of which should be burned
