My mother swears by diet and exercise. She had mania with psychosis and couldn't handle the side effects from the meds. She began a pretty strict diet and exercise routine and she's been episode free for many years. She doesn't even see a pdoc anymore. I don't know what to think, but I'm doing my best to eat healthy and exercise daily. I don't think it can hurt.
