Raul’s success story: bipolar

Juan recounts how desperate and fearful he and his family felt before he found Truehope EMPowerplus for his brother Raul, who had bipolar disorder.

Juan employed Raul in his construction contracting business, which was stressful at the best of times. The stress became much worse, however, as Raul’s illness intensified.

Diet and depression

A Finish researcher recently published a study investigating the connection between diet and severe depression.

The study analyzed 3 other Finnish studies that collectively had over 3000 participants, and they analyzed consumption of:  folate, vitamin B12, serum concentrations of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, coffee, tea, and caffeine.

The research indicated that diet, especially a healthy diet rich in folate, and a dietary pattern rich in vegetables, fruits, berries, whole-grains, poultry, fish, and low-fat cheese, may protect against depression.

This research confirms what we continue to say: nutrition affects our mental health.

Understanding your medication

Many people who come to Truehope as participants already take medication to treat a mood disorder.

Research studies on EMPowerplus indicate that some of these medications may need to be reduced and/or eliminated for EMPowerplus to work effectively, but this transition can be tricky to manage.
