hi. If you can avoid Rx meds, please do. I mean, they're always there if you need them--shrinks and the Rx meds the prescribe aren't going away anytime soon--but please consider other alternatives first.

Counseling can be helpful, but even those people often work w/ shrinks. So do therapists, usually.

I hope natural stuff works for you. I do Orthomolecular (yes, I'm pushing it on you). I do it with meds (I have severe Bipolar I, so meds aren't optional), and I seem to be making more progress than I ever did without the vitamins.

Its basically...high doses of C, high doses of B complex, high doses of either niacin or niacinamide, and then vitamin E (preferably natural form), sometimes minerals, etc. You can customize it fairly easily.

Other people know a lot about herbs and such...I'm just big on OM. My nervous breakdown was so severe I was never supposed to recover. It took time, but with meds, vitamins, improved family relationships, some low key counseling...I'm doing much, much better than expected.

But yeah...please do try to avoid Rx meds, if you can. If you do need them, consider going to a family doc first, a shrink only if necessary.

Good luck!
