Hehe, I also had many moments of "ohhhh" while reading his book.
I was suspecting that just being on the antidepressants for such a long time was making me manic and very depressed. But it was just a hunch.
And he talks exactly about how antidepressants can go really wrong for people with BPD. I was like: this guy is my savior!!!
I absolutely love him, even though I'd never met him lol. It's just that I could relate to the book and I really like this approach to the illness.
