Hi, I'm new here.......

Hi, new here. I've been dealing with generalized anxiety disorder, depression,panic for 33 years and have several genetic conditions that cause problems with my neurotransmitters and brain chemistry. Mutations such as MTHFR, MTRR, MTR, DRD, VDR & CBS to name a few. I stay away from all excitotoxins which only worsen the condition, try to do mild exercise for at least 20 mins a day, eat right, rest, pray, think positive etc. I wish I could say those things are enough but I have been on various meds for 30 years. My prayers, positive energy,and love goes out to everyone who deals with " Mental Illness". The stigma is shameful in this 21st century. There is a pathophysiology behind our illnesses. We are human beings and should be treated as any other person with any other illness.....respect, compassion and kindness.
