I gotta say that I have a slight personal irritation about this subect because of being diagnosed with depression late last year and being put the ringer of several anti-depressants and therapy which all made me feel much, much worse and cost me lots of money.
When I'd finally had it up to here in early February, I stopped all the drugs and therapy, committed myself to smart food, water, and exercise choices, and felt great within days. My program was my own, and breaking free of my professional "guides" was one of the smartest things I ever did.
And it did bug me that the professionals were so very adamant and in-my-face about how I "needed" treatment -- they were very fear-based about their approach to me, warning of the "risks" of taking care of myself, without their help. |
