About
I am very concerned with the mental health system and its one size fits all approach.
The Mental Health System Needs to change
I advocate for positive mental health that promotes healing with minimal or preferably no medication. I advocate for a more positive way of treating mental illness than harmful drugs through lifestyle changes. I advocate for a healthier lifestyle, diet, and exercise. I advocate for money going to evidence-based treatments. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder with psychotic features in 2001 The long-term side effects started making me much worse starting about 2013. It is also important to note that I have had multiple MMPI tests that all showed "functioning within normal limits" Starting in the early '90s. I have also had three Neuropsychological Evaluations. The last was in 3/2021 What was more surprising!! This one clearly stated there was no sign of "psychological or behavioral dysfunction". No Test has ever shown psychosis. Our lives can be stolen from us on the opinion of a psychiatrist even if the testing disagrees.
Your perspective matters!
