There is a tremendous textbook called "Nutritional Influences on Mental Illness", I have the second edition and it is written by Dr. Melvyn Werbach, a clinical professor at UCLA. What is so great about it is he lists by disorders and has several abstracts below each- both pro and con. e.g.- Bipolar- folic acid, B12,vit C, calcium, etc- just looking at calcium and he has in hypocalcemia, calcium replacement may precipitate a manic episode. There's about 20 pages just on bipolar with journal citations, case reports, etc. I returned Dr. Cass's book: "Natural Highs: Supplements, Nutrition and Mind/Body Techniques" simply because it was so one-sided. Right now my shrink has me on Omega 3's, klonopin and zyprexa (which I only take when I have auditory hallucinations) and I spend 50 min sessions with him. For me, he's perfect. Take care, judy
