So that's the first thing.
But I believe that, you know, like my experience with my mom, I remember like it was like when my mom came and said when they said the doctor said what they said.
I struggled with it because it was like, what is this?
And my family has a history of mental health challenges.
My great grandmother died in a mental health institution.
And so back then it was like,
They don't know what's wrong with her.
I think, you know, now I think it was, you know, postpartum and, you know, complicated postpartum of what was happening, but she was in and out.
And I don't know much about her.
And that's been like this thing to try to learn about her.
But when my mom, like, you know, I was very, I had friends, very close friends who have
had parents that had been diagnosed with mental health disorders.
And so when they said that, and they just so quick to do the meds, which was detrimental to my mom because it wasn't her diagnosis.
My mother had a mass on her brain, not a mental health disorder.
And so what I would say is that, you know, really finding the health care provider that you can trust that really will dive deep into a diagnosis, but also.
what will help most.
And I'll also say that I recently started to look into more natural, holistic, started learning about psilocybin treatment and reading more about psilocybin, which is the treatment, mushroom treatment, psychedelic mushroom treatment for healing.
And I had a friend that
shared that they had experienced that and shared that it was like four years of therapy as he was going through grief, very traumatic grief.
So I would say being open to holistic, but really finding that therapist and that medical provider that you trust that will give you the right mix of remedy.
