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

I hope to reform the health professions by informing them about the nutritional aspects of mood disorders.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

The symptoms of Bipolar Disorder can be improved by nutritional means.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

It is not well-known that mood disorders are primarily due to metabolic disorders that can be treated without recourse to drug by nutritional therapy..
