I just got back from visiting my bother in Cocoa Beach. He is also bipolar. He was trying to educate me more on the diet side of treatment. He said he has been a vegan for two years now and is medication free and very rarely shows any bp symptoms. My brother was seriously ill with bp all the time until he went without medicatons and started this vegan diet.

Has anyone else ever heard of this helping people, or is this maybe mind over matter? I am seriously considering this now. I have been reducing my meds for a long while now. Off seroquel completely almost off tegretol. Slightly manic lately but no psychosis or hallucinations. Next I will go off the zoloft and abilify. I have recently started fish oil and omega 3.

I really am interested in the vegan diet idea and anything you may have heard or seen about it.
