You know, as a long-time psych nurse having seen the damage of "labels"--and knowing their limitations (if one is told one is "incurable" or totally at the mercy of one's brain amines--we believe it, after all the "experts" say it is so!) in the forming of our identities... I have taken the wise words of just one such "expert", Hyla Cass, M.D. at her word--because she, indeed, has the "key" to what is needed... "the human brain is capable of multiple transformations like a butterfly coming out of a crysalis.  It does not have to be subject to past-life experiences, brain amines, nor genetics."  She has taken ALL her patients off psychotropic meds and replaced them with the right kind of nutrition (out of the available and most up-to-date research--an extremely complex and interesting business)... because psychiatric meds, indeed, do deplete the brain of the very neurotransmitters we need to be well.  If one DOES need to take them--these nutritional needs must be supplied daily... either through supplementation, or better yet a highly-organized and proper diet (one has to gain a knowledge of nutrition and foods).  I am convinced of her work by seeing what it has done to my life--including weaning off twenty different prescription meds... and now, seven months off all of them being a fully-competent and much less disabled human being (I fractured my neck, back, and both knees in a MVA--leaving me with permanent disability from normal jobs).  Sixteen of my twenty official former dx were due to side effects, deleterious effects, and interactions of those meds along with my simply getting older and more and more well through the help of self-discipline, the advancement in the spiritual journey, and wise counsel of spiritual mentors/confessors/spiritual directors, as well as an active life in the Church with frequent reception of the Sacraments.  So many do not have these kinds of resources--so I feel very blessed and grateful... but they ARE all available if sought.  Peace be with you!
