There is likewise no scientific evidence- none - that homeopathic or herbal medicines aid in the treatment of bipolar disorder. It is not true that these treatments have no side effects. Your information is irresponsible and harmful. Tell you doctor about any herbal and/or over-the-counter supplements you are taking as these may interfere with treatment. Likewise, let him or her know about any other "natural remedies." Also, be advised, that "natural" does not necessarily mean healthy. Complementary medicine in the form of yoga and a healthy lifestyle and good supplements can aid in the general quality of life of a person with bipolar disorder and should be encouraged. However, they cannot treat the symptoms. To say otherwise is fraudulent.
