I have investigated herbal remedies. They are of limited or no value. None exist for replacement of antipsychotics or mood stabilizers. The statement of mindset is partially true for ones own well-being, but does not prevent depression or mania. It is the chemicals in the mind being out of balance, and not necessarily emotional triggers. Frankly, the statement of herbal remedies and mental mindset to completely ameliorate the symptoms of BP is at best very naive, or at worst wreckless and dangerous for many.

PS There are herbs like St Johns Wort for depression, but is much too weak to handle the type of depression that we have as BPers.
