Agreed. I was so happy to read his explanation of kindling and anti-depressants and understand why taking 11 different anti-depressants at a lot of doses over the past 3 years prior to diagnosis had made things worse and that I was not ACTUALLY losing my mind. I remember being told at the mood disorders clinic that I went to for a diagnosis that I didn't have to take ADs anymore and what a relief that was. I did go back on them several years later with lots of mood stabilizer but then it was completely different.
I've emailed him a few times and gotten really nice answers back. I also liked that.
