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 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..
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  The symptoms of Bipolar Disorder can be improved by nutritional means.
