[quote=Anonymous]To anyone reading this thread and concerned about mental health issues in your kids or yourself, I highly recommend this book:

The Hacking of the American Mind: The Science Behind the Corporate Takeover of Our Bodies and Brains
 ~ Dr. Robert Lustig

Lustig is a highly respected endocrinologist who works with kids suffering obesity and diabetes, and very often accompanied by mental health issues. He is no krank and not one of those doctors looking to make a buck - he sells no products other than his thoroughly researched, heavily footnoted books. He cares deeply about what is happening to Americans, especially American kids, because of our processed foods industry and over reliance on pharmaceuticals to treat the symptoms of diseases of the body and the mind that are fully resolvable by lifestyle changes.

I’ve lived firsthand the journey of becoming seriously unhealthy both physically and mentally, having pharmaceuticals pushed on me by my physicians, and learning that I never needed them because everything was fixable by changing how I eat and behave. It troubles me that young people are being pushed into drugs by so many doctors who don’t get the training in medical school (they don’t even do a full day on nutrition over four years of schooling, can you believe that??) to advise patients properly about how they can keep their minds and bodies healthy by eating and living well.
