"Is great!!! He changed my life even. When I thought I didn't need to change. He gave me the medicines I needed instead of the ones I'd been on for 8 years. We based the medicines I tried on my needs & the side-effects. I had wasted 8 years of my life thrusting psychiatrists who never even looked at or listened to me..."
