Dark therapy has helped me immensely - an innate consequence of dark therapy is a regular sleep cycle. Regular exercise and a very healthy diet promote and support my complete health in ways no psychiatric therapeutics ever have or will. When I need a little bit more help I use ashwagandha root extract, l-theanine, and melatonin. Meditation is always useful.

My ability to cope has steadily improved as I taper off of lamotrigine, the last psychiatric medication I am on. Sometimes medication isn't the answer and placing hope that it will be is a losing strategy. Personally, I wish I could find a capable clinician I could collaborate with for my own treatment.

In any event, give dark therapy a try, but keep in mind that medications can be sources of woe that, even after discontinuation, take time to recover from. My ability to go to sleep has steadily improved the less medication I've been on and the utility of dark therapy has become more potent.
