[QUOTE="Mirabelle, post: 762682, member: 28712"] Thank you MindingGaps and Ascending for your responses. I do appreciate the support and input very much. Ascending, I have heard of and read some about the influence of diet and proper nutrition on mental disorders. I am so happy to hear that your son was helped by taking supplements. And yes, the idea for our sons that something within their control could improve their health, rather than being entirely reliant on outside interventions, is very exciting. My stepson has always been something of a junk food addict. Before I came into his life, him and his sister pretty much ate nothing but processed foods - lots of yellow, brown, and orange. After a few years I successfully got them on to eating proper dinners, which they enjoyed and looked forward to. When his drug abuse and mental illness came to the forefront at around 17 or 18, he came to the table less and less. Copious amounts of salt, fat, and sugar became something of an addiction. So bad for him, I know. Hopefully if he can take a few steps in the right direction, he would be open to eating better and trying some natural remedies as you describe. I never stop trying! Tomorrow he will have been in rehab for a week. We have only heard from him once, ironically enough to ask us to drop him off some chocolate, chips, and soda. He is still there, hasn't walked yet, no one has called to express any concerns, and we are still over a week out from payday. Fingers eternally crossed. Thank you both again for your kind words, and I hope things are well for you also. [/QUOTE]
