I thought i would just post what i have come to know in my search for natural treaments of bipolar disorder in myself. I have found that the main factors involved are dopamine, glutamine, acetylcholine, protein kinase c and a , 5ht1a 2c, norepinephrine, histamine,cortisol, glucose regulation and mitochondrial function.of these the factors of which treatment was most beneficial were; glucose regulation (through diet changes), pkc inhibition (green tea, curcumin), dopamine agonism(green tea, rhodiola, bacopa?), increase acetylcholine (bacopa, phosphatidylserine), 5ht1a agonism(bacopa), cortisol regulation(phosphatidylserine), glutamate regulation(curcumin, b12, phosphatidylserine), mitochondrial function(d ribose, resveratrol)
Please let me know if anyones had similar results and if you have other natural treatments which are very succesful as i am in the early stages of developing a supplement to offer to the bipolar community in my area,no worries there is a doctor involved thanks!
