This book is a journey that took nearly thirty years. When Generalized Anxiety Disorder reared it's ugly head a fourth time, I had to find out what was causing this debilitating disorder. None of the usual medications worked. I couldn't live like that, I was suicidal. So, I took matters into my own hands and started doing research and experimenting with different foods and supplements. I talked to many other people who suffered from GAD and depression to see if I could piece together the puzzles surrounding these pandemic disorders. Happily, what I discovered, even though it goes against the beliefs of most in the psychiatric world, brought the relief I sought. Today, I live medication free. It is my hope that by telling this story, I can help other people who suffer from these emotional disorders.
