My name is Jane Grimaldi and I created a video with my videographer Chris Halsay for the Life Without Labels blog...it's about my surviving many psychiatric obstacles throughout my 25+ years of being a psychiatric consumer. I want people to realize that there are many alternative methods for dealing with psychiatric illnesses besides just prescribed medications.
I am in favor of choice in the matter of pharmaceutical psychiatric drug treatment. In other words, not a "one size fits all" approach. In my case I have been in recovery from a diagnose of BiPolar ll, and clinical depression. I am no longer taking any mood stabilizers or
ant-depressant meds. I take 2 capsules of Fish Oil 2x a day and manage my anxiety with breathing practices, mindfullness, and if necessary I take, (PRN), clonazopam...This is my story. Other people may need to be on medication for life, especially if they are suicidal or have more serious issues that interfere with their daily living.
