I've also noticed that diet helps. When Im living on processed crap, my mood is a lot less stable. When I eat well, I'm calmer and less reactive.

Also, what's this about chemical imbalances being a myth?
Here's an article on thyroid and mental illness:
The Link Between Mental Illness and Hypothyroid Disease

Chemical imbalance myth thing… I am making what I see as a distinction between known physiological factors that affect the brain, vs the psychiatry narrative.
