We're irritable and impatient because of our conditions and we've reinforced that behavior over time. It's impulsive and irrational and it will take many things (drugs, therapy, support, not being such a dumbass and recognizing it immediately, etc.) and much time to change that.
I don't know anything about your citric acid theory, but I do know that citrus fruits are contra-indicated with some of my meds, so I'd be careful about recommending such things universally.

________________________________________________
Citric acid theory is not mine. It is hotly contested by some sights on
the internet and strongly recommended by other sites. The major problem with those who contest it is that citrus fruits often contain too much sugar, which is very acidifying to tissue and fluids. The lemon and lime do not fit that category, and potassium is known to be effective in lowering acidic states of fluids and tissues--completely different from the Ph of the system which remains stable within a very narrow margin.
Sorry, I needed to say, as I usually do, that it works for some of us.
I couldn't find evidence of any meds that require one to avoid potassisum, but would like to know which ones do, because I'd make it a point to avoid it if possible---just for myself.
It is generally known that stress causes strong acidity and anything
that helps avoid that may have beneficial value, in my view.
As for striking your doctors in the face, I wouldn't advise that. You might find yourself in a serious lawsuit. The truth is that many doctors don't really know that much about what their medications are doing to patients who suffer serious side effects. Many will tell you that it often takes 3 or more changes in medications during treatment to reach a satisfory "coctail" to treat mental illness.
And then there's the problem of what to do about the acidic ash of those meds.
I wonder why the psychiatrists don't give us information on that? I think many probably do who are knowledgeable about what helps relieve it.
