SM Davis - author The Psychotropic Diet

About Me

I have two passions in life. Writing and spreading the word of hope, education and recovery within the mental health community. During my years of working in the mental health field, I have found only one constant. How poorly people with a mental health diagnosis of a brain chemistry disorder have been treated. There are a few INCREDIBLE practitioners out there that have miraculously managed to remember that every person is unique and has the capacity to leave their own unique mark on the world, but they are very few and far between.The reason I wrote "The Psychotropic Diet" is because I believe that EVERYONE deserves a fighting chance against this disorder and the more information we have about HOW MUCH POWER WE HAVE the better off all of us will be. I also thought it was important to put a section in the book for SUPPORTERS or loved ones of those with bipolar disorder. We must be given a fighting chance and never forget that no one person OR THING can take that power away from us if we are not willing to give it up. The Psychotropic Diet, I believe, gives people more information toward having that chance.I hope you enjoy the book!!

I'd like to meet:

YOU!Hope is a universal language and there is enough in the world to fulfill each person's dreams. The suicide rate among people with brain chemistry disorders increased tremendously in 2006. Together we can spread the word of hope in a world where it is dying fast.Eleanor Roosevelt said "I think somehow we decide who we are and learn to live with that decision." If who we are is a decision, then the possibilities are endless for who we can be and what we want our lives to become. As providers of human services, the more we spread the word of hope and recovery of health and emotional wealth, the less people there will be out there without hope. It must start somewhere and truth be told ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Just imagine what a different world we would live in if every person spent five minutes spreading the message of hope to another...and another...and another.Thank you for visiting my site, and remember HOPE IS THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH WE LAY THE ROAD TO OUR DREAMS...You and I together can make a world of difference.Hope and peace to you!Thank you for visiting!!
You Are 94% Thankful
You're an incredibly thankful person, and everyone around you feels very appreciated.
