These bipolar symptoms also led to depression from the media exposure to needless stress about the state of the world. Â This was one of the principle life style changes needed to get off mood “stabilizers” for me. The drugs were causing me considerable side effects. Including work loss and trouble focusing. I worked with my great psychiatrist to do this. Also meditation was essential in this process of mental health recovery. So were consumer operated services.

My meditation and Zen practice helped give up TV but also the TV mania was interfering with calm Zen meditation.
