A Day in The Life – loving, learning, helping my BiPolar Son

He just wants the pain to go away!

Bipolar Studies and Treatments – Omega 3 Fish Oil

leave a comment »

My son refuses to see a dr or take any medication for his bipolar disease. I hate the word disease. I read several medical journal articles last night about the use of Omega 3 fish oil supplements helping the symptoms of bipolar disease. One of the cases stated that it was almost if not more effective than taking Lithium (tried before to horrible side effects). I also read that along with taking B and C supplements that it can help relieve a great deal of his symptoms, along with the anxiety.

I am going to pick up the supplements now and he has somewhat agreed to take them since they are not prescribed and he won’t feel as much like a freak so he says.

The thought of having to take medicine for the rest of his life is too much for him now. Maybe taking something that is over the counter won’t seem as bad. I am never advising anyone not to take their prescribed meds, I am only stating what my son is choosing to do.

Love & Peace,
Rebecca
