I will be certain to read about Reiki. For true chemical imbalances where medication is needed, I always strongly suggest and believe that psychotherapy should go along with that, hand in hand. One great form of therapy can be Reiki!! I cannot see it interfering at all with prescription medication, only acting as an adjunct to perhaps help people to wean off medication once they (if possible) have their emotional issues under control. Some disorders require lifelong medication, others do not. Either way, Reiki sounds like a fantastic idea and I encourage people reading this and your comment to read about it. I certainly will! Thank you again for posting. Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com www.GLCzone.com Dear Reiki Chic,

I am a Reiki Master and I think you should investigate energy healing. This unique complimentary healing modality has no side effects, will not interfere with prescription meds and has lasting positive effects on people. It works by creating a mood of extreme relaxation and trust. It also has been proven to increase focus, lower blood pressure, help ADD/ ADHD and has special energy frequencies that deal with emotional trauma. Please see www.reiki.org for more info on Reiki. You can also go to my website at www.wakeupreiki.com. Different thought, less confusing! :) Have any of you ever explored not using drugs for your emotional problems?

I have a friend diagnosed bipolar who would self medicate and over and over she would have breakdowns. She finally was placed on a blend of that work for her and she is like a new person. She has been balanced with these medications for three and a half years now, which is the longest I have ever seen her remain stable. She is now married and is an advocate for the new programs for mental health here. She has been interviewed on talk shows. It is a happy ending to what started asa tragic story. This is an excellent post.

Once the instant gratification of the drug or alcohol they are self medicating with wears off, they are left in the same place they started. Then eventually, they need more of the drug or find themselves drinking all the time…this is addiction. And of course, I want to clarify that NOT everyone who self medicatesfalls into this negative pattern, but in my experience it is the rule vs. the exception. I will be writing an article soon about the difference between addiction and dependence. Thank you for your comment. Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com www.GLCzone.com Dear Shilpan,

I read in a medical journal before that many who self prescribe medicine for their mental disorder end up finding themselves in severe depression as they lack the understanding surrounding the complexity of brain function. Many thanks for the post. Shilpan Dr KC,

I try not to think of trying new medications as “experimenting” on oneself, but in a way I can definitely see how it may seem like that. You have inspired me to write my next article entitled, <a href="http://docinthebiz.com/blog/the-difficulties-of-finding-a-medication-that-works-for-you/" rel="nofollow">The Difficulties in Finding a Medication that Works for You</a>. Please review this article and I can only hope that it sheds light on what I have written in this article about “THE KEY IS TO NEVER GIVE UP.” With a positive mental attitude that you truly want to feel better and will do anything it takes, you’ll get yourself through it. It really and truly is worth the ride. I can share so many testimonials of the horrendous process finding the right medication has been for people, but for those who stuck with it and actually found a medication or combination of medications that worked for them, their lives changed 100%. And without a doubt, add psychotherapy to the mix to help with dealing with the whole process of finding the correct medication and dosage and your initial issues that brought you to need medication in the first place, and you’re well on your way to a better life!
