Mary Beth’s daughter Gracie was depressed from the time she was a baby. As early as 3 years old, Gracie would act in ways that led Mary Beth to believe that she was suicidal.
Mary Beth tried many psychiatrists, all suggesting medications. When she looked into the pharmaceutical route, Mary Beth knew that it was not the right choice for her.
Finally, it got to the point that when Gracie was 11, Mary Beth felt there was no other option but to medicate her for what is known as bipolar disorder.
When Mary Beth phoned Gracie’s psychiatrist to have him phone in a prescription to the pharmacy, he urged her to come for a consultation on what effects all the different medications would have. Upon learning all the negative effects that would result from putting Gracie on antidepressants and antipsychotics, she once again decided that it was not the right choice.
A day later, Mary Beth’s husband came home with an issue of Discover Magazine that had an article on Truehope and how their vitamin supplement EMPowerplus has shown great results with mood disorders like bipolar and depression. Mary Beth decided to get Truehope EMPowerplus for Gracie.
Today, Gracie functions normally and enjoys life.
