TREATMENTS THAT
HELP WITH VARIOUS
MENTAL ILLNESSES
Green = Safe to use for all ages in any amount
Yellow = Generally safe, but use in more limited amounts and probably not for children ages 0 - 11
Red = Potentially highly dangerous. Use with extreme caution. Not for children age 17 or younger, only for adults 18 and over. For women, consult with physician first.
Cannabis / Marijuana (CBD, CBG, CBN, and THC)
Not all drugs that are / were illegal are bad. This herb is almost all inclusive as a treatment for most illnesses. It works for virtually everything! And it's absolutely phenomenal in my experience! Low-THC (but not no THC, you need a small amount unless you live in one of the three states it’s completely illegal) full-spectrum oils containing all cannabinoids (especially CBD, CBG, and CBN) work wonders for autism, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. I have used it for autism spectrum disorder, PTSD, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, ADHD, fibromyalgia, and chronic migraine headaches.
Turmeric
This herb apparently works for depression, inflammation, and pain. Ginger and black pepper enhance it. I am just starting it so I am not sure how it works.
Oil of Peppermint
Not just for nausea and upset stomachs, this can help with anxiety as well
Pet / Emotional Support Animal
Most or all pets reduce stress and anxiety and relieve depression and add years to your life. Cats are best, dogs second best for pets, vice-versa for emotional support animals (only because dogs are more portable). Unless you’re allergic to one or both. Some pets enjoy from a cage though. I don’t recommend you try to pet a venomous snake the way you would a dog or cat, that may defeat the purpose. Otherwise, cats add 7 - 8 years to your life, dogs 4 - 5, and all other pets 2 - 3 on average.
Gluten-free Diet
Essential for people with Celiac disease and wheat allergies obviously, but also a good idea for autism. Some recommend dairy free as well. If you go dairy free; my mother, my younger brother, and I are of the opinion that butter and heavy whipping cream are generally alright for all but the very most sensitive. The problem with dairy is usually casein and lactose, of which butter and heavy whipping cream contain but a trace, they are almost 100% butterfat. Well, more like 40% for heavy whipping cream and 85% for butter, the rest is water. Most of what I cook for myself I admittedly buy already prepared (and I do occasionally cheat), although I do have a recipe for shrimp scampi that one of my friends and his grandmother say is to die for. It's quite simple. It doesn't look like the picture (because I found the picture online), I don't use parsley in mine.
