20 years ago my life finally fell apart from my mood disorder that’s heavily genetic in my family on my mother side. So while on disability after leaving my job as a network engineer I decided to go full in and try to find out what part of our genetics was causing this problem.

I had the benefit of living next to a large research hospital which I stayed in three or four times during some of my episodes. But once the Internet really came around my learning grew exponentially.

I have the added benefit of probably having aspergers as well. I also perform countless experiments on myself using different combinations of supplements in diet. Each failure let me to great information about what was going on. Now I’m at a place where I only need klonopin on occasion. This is coming from being on four different medication‘s at once.

And thanks.
