Roo,
Good luck to you - you've got my total support on this. I think it's helping alot. If nothing else, I'll be a very fit and healthy mentally ill person. I'll ask my naturopath whom I'll be seeing on Friday his ideas on your finding a good doc. I'm reading a fascinating book about hormones and their role in physical and mental health (can't really separate them) that might be of interest to you. It's called 'Screaming to be Heard: Hormone connections women suspect and doctors still ignore" by Elizabeth Vliet, MD (newest edition). It's not so much 'alternative medicine' as a very thorough and enlightening endocrine study. I suspect you're a women? This will be extremely relevant. If not, it's still info that applies to everyone in ways most of us (including docs) are relatively clueless about. It will arm you with needed info you can take to your holistic doc when you find one.
