What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to make the treatment "mental health" into a self-help program for anybody to help themselves, by teaching the influence of nutrition on "mental" health. I also hope to inform professionals about the nutritional aspects of "mental illness".

A low self-esteem is not always IN THE MIND, but more often in a unhealthy body.
