[QUOTE="transformtriumph, post: 39262, member: 102"] People often compare mental illness to diabetes (not sure why) and you can also compare the treatment plan for our kids to the treatment plan for a diabetic. Both require a multi-faceted plan. A careful look at which tools are needed is the first step. Both diagnoses require a nutritional consult and a decision whether diet is contributing to the disorder. Then an exercise plan is implemented to assist the body. Now if the person's pancreas has completely shut down (for diabetic) or a person's brain is in major dysfunction, then medication is used right away. In any case, it is important to ferret out what may be an obstacle to health. All of these areas need to be addressed. [/QUOTE]
