Thank you. I do not think this will help me because in this particular case, my friend, many years ago, was in a PhD program in something like biochemistry. She did not finish. I have never been educated in natural sciences. So she often starts talking about "those drugs" that she would "never take" from the vantage point of a learned person, or so it seems to her, in her mind. She recently complained of having severe insomnia and not being able to sleep until 4AM. I gently suggested Trazodone, a very old tricyclic AD commonly used for sleep in low doses, and she rejected it out right. When a person does not want to take something as innocent as Trazodone (innocent for her: for me it is not innocent because it would induce hypomania), there is no way she would trust any doctor or take a heavy hitter AP. She knows that these days hospitals=medications.

But I appreciate the general direction of this Youtuber living and accepting her illness.
