Meditation & Medication

Struggling to Pass Brain Chemistry
The first signs of bipolar disorder were not alarming. Dustin* was a tad hyper years ago, the evening he proposed doing writing exercises in the tub of the housing cooperative.

Moreover, there is increasing evidence that symptoms that seem similar on the surface may have very different causes....
