Say No to Prescription Anti-Phycotics

Everyday someone is being pressured into using antipsychotic medication for their mental health issues, that they may or may not have.

What if I was to tell you that there is a better solution to your well-being than having to take a handful of prescription medications for your mental health issues?

Over the years thousands of people turn to antipsychotic for comfort in their everyday lives, but that isn't the solution to their problems. The solution is inside of everybody, it's inside of what we eat, the amount of exercise we get, and if we are taking the correct vitamins that our bodies are deficient in.

A main part in why you feel Depressed, Anxious, or that your moods are just unstable (bipolar), is because your body is lacking the nutrition that it requires to maintain a healthy brain function.

For the past 5 years I've felt nothing but hopelessness that I could never overcome my depression, anxiety, and my explosive anger with out taking prescription antipsychotics.

All of that has changed since I started taking my first steps towards recovery. I found out recently this year that the reason I was depressed is because my body was deficient in Vitamin D, which little did I know that if your body is lacking this specific Vitamin it will cause your brain function to be off balance, making you feel alone, sad, hopeless, all the symptoms of depression.

I started out taking 50,000mg of Vitamin D3 once a week to help with my depression. Also in addition to that I started taking 400mg of SAM-E twice a day to help support brain function and mind focus.

These supplements have made an outstanding difference in my daily life.

Your body could be lacking the nutrients needed for your brain to function properly; to resolve this simply start out taking daily vitamins, this will make your thinking more clear instead of cloudy, you will feel healthier, happier, and overall a totally different person.

To find out if you are vitamin deficient go to your physician and ask if they can test for it, as some don't, you can be referred to somewhere that does that type of testing.

I know that when you think of working out, it is what it says. Vitamins aren't enough to keep you feeling healthy if you aren't taking the correct care of your body functions, and just your brain's functions. The saying goes, "Your body is a temple" is exactly true for your body is a temple and should be taken care of as such.

Working out just a little bit each day is very important to living a healthy lifestyle and keeping your "temple" in check. Small amounts of exercise here and there could save your life.

Too much adrenaline is never good, and some people produce more adrenaline than their bodies can put off and it can cause severe anxiety, panic attacks, rapid heart rate, blurred vision, and pale skin.

To reduce your anxiety just workout everyday little by little and you will surely see results in less than a week. Exercising lets you release your adrenaline so that you don't have as much in your system, therefore reducing the amount of anxiety you have. From experience working out twice a day for 20 minutes significantly reduced my anxiety. I went from having 3 panic attacks a day to having none.

What I am telling you will help significantly with what you are going through. Even someone who says they don't have these problems, they too could benefit from this.

You're not broken because of your mental illness, there is hope without pharmaceuticals, the answer is inside all of us. Go see your doctor to figure out what vitamins your body needs to function, take those vitamins, exercise 20-mins a day, get active, if you want to get better you will make the decision for yourself. It's never too late to start.
