Hello.
I am new to this forum.
Was wandering if anyone could reccomend any natural or organic therepies to help with
BiPolar Disorder. I feel prescribed medications are no longer suitable for my lifestyle.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks

Hi Morningstar,
Good to hear from you.
In my experience things like Vit supplements, and fish oil in particular, can be incredibly helpful if that's what you are needing. In fact I found it so helpful in supporting my wellness previously that I am planning to try them (especially fish oil) again now that I am back in a financial situation to afford it.
One of the important things to know about supplements is not only can they interact with meds, but they aren't all equal. "Oils aint' oils" is actually true here. It is worth comparing them and seeing what you are getting for your money. Some fish oil products have very little of things like Omega3 when compared to other products, sometimes - but not always - you get what you pay for. Checking the labels is worthwhile.
You are spot on that lifestyle changes can make a significant difference, either way. Finding our own wellness "recipe" can take lots of trial and error, and - as with prescription meds - may need adjsutment or complete overhaul at times.
Kind regards,
Kristin

I wouldn't rely on Blackmores either - IMHO they are usually a rip off.
Cheers!
