I'm one of those people who actually need psychiatric medication but can't take it. It's difficult. I first started taking this product to help minimize my symptoms and It did a reasonable job. The largest benefit though was one I didn't expect. I had a very sore hip, to the point that I couldn't lift my leg enough to put on socks, trousers etc. The doctor had prescribed anti inflammatories and pain killers but they did nothing. Within 2 weeks the pain had gone and hasn't returned. This never happens to me. I love this product if only for that reason.
