Breakthrough Theory of Bipolar Disorder

-- -- Dr. William Walsh's Comprehensive Theory (Explaining the Cause of Bipolar, the Reason For Switching From Mania to Depression & Treatment Implications) Shared at the Society of Neuroscience. This past week, I had the pleasure of attending the Advanced Course for Walsh-Trained Practitioners. To date, 1,200 practitioners from 75 countries have been trained using the Walsh approach. For those unfamiliar, the Walsh Research Institute, founded by Dr. William Walsh, has looked at the nutrient levels of over 30,000 people with brain-related symptoms and found a surprisingly small number of nutrient imbalances (low zinc, high copper, high pyrroles, and methylation imbalances) that repeatedly show up. We address these imbalances in those with depression, anxiety, panic, obsessions, compulsions, inattention, brain fog, hyperactivity, autism, dementia, psychosis, and mood swings with significant and, at times, dramatic results. Bipolar disorder, however, because of its shifting in neurotransmitter states from mania and depression, can be particularly difficult to treat. More than nine million Americans have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This severe condition can lead to drug or alcohol use, financial or legal problems, discord in relationships, work and school instability, and/or suicide attempts or suicide. The course typically begins with an acute onset, followed by episodes of mania and depression, which often worsens in severity over time. In this episode, after describing bipolar disorder, I will use Dr. Walsh’s Comprehensive Theory of Bipolar Disorder, recently shared at the Society of Neuroscience, to explain: the cause of bipolar disorder the reason for the onset, persistence, and increasing severity for many over time the reason for the increased risk of other health issues the reason for the switch between manic and depressive states how this information impacts treatment and prevention To learn more about the factors contributing to brain symptoms or to receive these newsletters in your mailbox each week, visit: www.CourtneySnyderMD.com Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes and is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for yourself or others, including but not limited to patients you are treating (if you are a practitioner).
