RE: Managing ADHD with Exercise and Nutrition (and When that Doesn't Work)

in #psychology6 years ago

I've been wondering if there is a link between the increase in mental issues and the correlation in increase of usage of pharma drugs.
Good luck with all your efforts and the way you've been testing and applying thoughts to your own health.
Most people just leave it for someone else to sort out, or want a quick fix in chemicals.

All the best

I think there is and it's related to chemical runoff (or the equivalent based on drugs passing through bodies or being flushed down the toilet). This must have an impact on our neurology. I'm lucky to have the privilege to try different techniques to manage my mental health. I have been in the position more than once of having to go for the prescriptions first in order to get a handle on life and be able to then pursue alternate options. An example is that I was unable to exercise more than 2 days a week until I went up on my antidepressant. When I was prescribed an anti-anxiety medication, I moved to 4 days a week at the gym. Then I was able to tackle diet and shift to the 8 workouts I now do. I love hearing others' stories about how they've gotten where they are. It's inspiring!

Well done by the way. Somebody taking their own life by short and curly's and making it work for them.
We grew some weed to assist my mother in law with her cancer and anxiety. It was a great move and for a very Conservative family this has been so good for her and us. It works like a bomb, and she actually got some results back today and she's clear....some natural remedies work really well.
BTW, she can sleep on the oil....and is happy and generally herself. Perhaps that will help you? I know Cannabis oil is quite expensive, but at least it's not chemicals with side affects or the like.
