I am a psychiatrist and I work in Spain. Amazing story, thank you so much. Your story fills me with hope, for my patients, you helped me understand them better and I am motivated to learn about neuroplasticity. A big hug and thank you again for sharing your story of improvement.
Glad you found it helpful. I’m preparing my next vid on the neurobiology of biology and self help techniques we can use to improve our outcomes. I’ll discuss the importance of neuroplasticity in this vid. The chapter on how to boost neuroplasticity will be ready later in the year. Im so glad to hear a psychiatrist finds my work helpful, my next series of vids will cover the neurobiology of bipolar disorder that we can leverage and improve for ourselves; I think this should be of interest to you. I’m hopeful that over the course of the next decade we will see major improvements in the treatment of mental health conditions.
You're one of the good ones! You care about your patients. You see them as human beings that hurts so badly.God bless you! I myself I am looking for help for my loved one. It never been diagnosed but everything points out to Bipolar, not so sure 1 or 2. It's a great suffering, unbearable and I was feeling so so hopeless but now there might be a light ahead.
Amazing man,we are all so proud of you,you pulled through when it could have been so easy to just give up. Please continue your work, the world needs more natural healing. Only last week I had a severe asthma attack combined with a extremely sore throat which made me choke when I coughed up pglegm,this induced an anxiety attack but only for the 2-3minutes of the coughing. When my doctor "examined" me he immediately said oh you have anxiety? here is some Xanex. I refused the xanex and after 3 days my throat healed enough so that I could cough normally without choking. it is unbelievable how doctors are so quick to push the benzo's at patients rather than looking at the real problem. If my doctor had even looked at my throat he would have seen it was very inflamed and prescribed maybe steroids to reduce the swelling. No, I could have been put in a life of addiction and pain because of ignorance.
A personal difficulty is what makes you an incredible practicioner. Thank you for sharing your journey and well done on your outcome. Difficult and lonely as it was. No one cares until it happens to them.
I admire you so much! You said that your parents were religious, and that killing yourself would be a sin… Have you ever considered how many lives have been made better and saved by your work??? What a ministry God has given you through your pain! Where would others be if you HAD committed suicide? You are a HERO. God does love you, Peter! I don’t know why God allowed this in your life, but you have conquered, and I love you for it.
Thanks for your talk. It is nice to see that some with bipolar are managing it and having a decent life. I also have managed my bipolar for many decades. The meds they used on me like Thorazine caused me to gain a ton of weight and at times made me feel like a zombie. Although I was in full blown mania at the start, for the rest of my life I just had brief periods of hypomania, but long periods of low grade depression. I learned to accept and deal with the depression with exercise, cognitive therapy, and writing a daily gratitude list. I'm very disciplined about a regular sleep schedule. Even if I do not sleep, I do not get up and move around. Lying in the dark, I probably get some short bits of sleep, but the lack of stimulation rests my brain. I want to get up and get on the computer, but I do not do it.
I am overcome with tears of relief and also fear as I am beginning to recognize and accept that I most likely have bipolar disorder. I am 33 and currently quite debilitated by another major depression episode, after having experienced what I am now realizing was a manic episode lasting for months. This is about the 3rd or 4th cycle that I am able to identify throughout my life, which has been spent mostly in low-grade to severe depression. Like you, I was suicidal by age 13. Absolutely heartbreaking to admit. Trauma. I am hopeful to begin this journey towards healing, though I know this is just the beginning. Thank you so much for sharing your story, you are truly an inspiration for me right now. I’m looking forward to watching the follow up video on your neuroplasticity protocol. Thank you again so much - may we all find the willingness and resources towards recovery and living a life of happiness
Well done on recognising the manic phases, this is a really important discovery. People can have unrecognised BP for years, only seeing the depression episodes. To stop the depressions you have to stop the manias in the first place. Manias rev up and exhaust the brain, the manias follow the depressions. Also on order to treat the depressions without precipitating another cycle you have to be able to manage/prevent mania.
I could start to cry. Because you confirmed my thoughts. Few months ago I have found a girl which has bipolar disorder. I told her it can be recovered. Ofc she thought I have no idea. But I went into it how it works on bio chemistry in brain , especially in the hyppocampus. I got a list of supplements and trainings and now you confirmed me. Thank you so much !!
This is very hopeful. I'm currently diagnosed with Bipolar 1. I'm on Abilify 200mg monthly injection. It keeps me out of hospital and from becoming manic. But oh boy I feel like a watered down version of myself. I cant focus. I'm very unsatisfied with how life is right now and I know theres a natural route, your advice and experience is an answer to my prayers. Thankyou for sharing.
Thank God for giving you the power and the wisdom to survive all this and to tell others that are going through same or similar problems. Your story is very touching ❤ God bless you
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 God bless you. I feel like you’ve just summed up my life. Thank you for having the courage to share your experiences, people really don’t understand what we go through. I can’t wait to watch your other videos.
This makes me so happy! Cognitive decline is one of my biggest fears! I’ve been taking turmeric and DIM for years so hopefully your holistic plan will help me as well! Thanks again! And hope the videos continue! Continued health!
We know so much about how to boost neuroplasticity to maintain brain health and even repair it, so we people with mental health problems can prevent cognitive decline.
Keep up the good work Peter, it’s wonderful that you put yourself out there so that people can learn about their own mental illness. I recently got off olanzapine using lithium orotate, NAC and Niacinamide is a wonderful natural remedy for anxiety. Thank you for your videos.
Bless you doc . I too have bi polar and have been hospitalized 3 times .on and off lithium without a proper understanding. receiving more information from your videos then anyone else . Thankyou and God bless
Your videos are helping me so much! Can you do a video about how you repaired your neuroplasticity? And the natural remedies you use? I am terrified of taking medication and i want to do this naturally
You are so comforting good man. It's been a while since you posted this but are you able to do more vids? Just hearing your voice makes me feel understood and at peace 💗🙋
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your personal ordeal and all the knowledge you gathered. You are an inspiration. I´m a psychiatrist, and want to learn more about natural remedies to alleviate psychiatric conditions.
I think you’ll find my next series of videos on the biology and self help treatment options of bipolar disorder useful. The first one will be an overview of a dozen biological manifestations of bipolar and what we can do to help ourselves control them and hence the condition. It should be ready in about 6 weeks. I’m always delighted to hear where psychiatrists and doctors take an interest in my work. If there’s any possibility of collaboration or presenting my work I would love to do that. The current treatment options are so very limited and often problematic. Although there are several exiting new treatment methods being investigated progress is painfully slow. Anyway thanks for your comment.
I m glad I found you here I had brain surgery 2029 and I fix myself and get through the worst time till today 2024 I just realized I have the bipolar symptoms plus I m on my menopause it’s terrible but thank you for all knowledge I m working on myself now thank you
My next video will be on bipolar disorder biology and self help solutions. We now know a lot about what bipolar disorder is and what we can do to control it. I think it’ll be ready in about 6 weeks.
As someone who also suffers from bipolar disorder (2), thank you. Your videos have given me the understanding and tools to try and stabilize my moods and I am more optimistic than I have ever been.
Just found your channel. It’s amazing, it’s like you’re reading from my life’s story. I have a question though, do you have a list of the supplements you took to finally fix you and what each one does? Amazingly I’ve noticed even the more random things you are mentioning like a difficultly hearing and difficulty remembering things. But only in my low phase. When normal or hypomanic I am super sharp and quick on the uptake and it’s so strange to see how drastically this all affects me. Very happy to have found this channel. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and hope you can help those of us suffering.
I was decertified as having a Serious Mental Illness (from BPD) even though multiple professionals told me it was impossible! So happy to hear other stories of people actually recovering! Would love to collab with you on a video sometime!
Please elaborate on what you are saying, the one word “debatable” comment doesn’t inform other peoples understanding of their own condition, of mental health or even what you are thinking. To me it feels a bit sarcastic or at least sceptical, it’s ok to own and express criticism and sarcasm but please elaborate your thoughts and feelings so that others can understand your thoughts and respond to them.
@@Nothingnothing1111how can you debate a persons personal experience? She is living it and it was possible for her, that gives hope to others. How can you debate her on her truth?
Yes I’m still working seeing patients🙂 To book an appointment just email me letting me know where you are located/what time zone you are in so I can work out when we could meet.
Glad you liked it. My next video (out spring 24) should interest you, it’ll include a lot of new content on bipolar disorder and depression with frequent inclusion of lithium.
Right on man. Im natural too & try to get in the comments on bp videos to hopefully inspire even ONE person to try natural at least once throughout the course of illness. It takes a lot of work to press on through the pain. I think the key to natural is regular therapy.
When no one else was talking about bipolar and natural remedies, like lithium orotate ,I found you thank you , I hope your doing well, I’d love more videos
You are very welcome, bipolar disorder is a complex condition because it has 2 sides, however, it does respond to treatment and I believe that many people can partially or wholly control the condition using natural therapies.
19:19 I too refused for years to acknowledge that I had Schizoaffective disorder, until with self experimentation, taking time off everything, observing/journaling and further study, it was crystal clear that that's the case in hand unfortunately. to treat anything, one has to admit it first, accept what is & go from there.
I am spreading what you have taught me on my channel and continuing to learn more. I'm no professional but you are my guide and my inspiration. I have gotten two people better so far. Thank you so much. I will link your channel in mine.
Your are blowing my mind.... I did not realize I was cycling but I was using two products by Nature Sunshine, Mood Elevator for the depression, and Nervous Fatigue for the hypomania.... I also used 5HTP, b complex and GABA.. Pretty much full time. Others too, but this was the main ones....I am so into getting better control over this and possibly seeing my son get off of these prescription drugs. What about extreme psychosis in mania? He is on an antipsychotic, risperdone, his psychiatric nurse hopes to raise his lithium enough to stop that one... He's only been on this stuff for 2 months... 😎 Thanks for this!!!!
Thank you for saying that. A few years ago I started to follow the practice of ‘radical-honesty’, it feels clean and easier to live with, there’s even a wiki how page on how to do it! www.wikihow.com/Practice-Radical-Honesty One consent in radical-honesty is when you lie you give away your power because you cannot stand in your own truth in front of the other person, you have to hide your truth from them. When I’m late I don’t tel the lie sorry I’m late the traffic was awful, I say sorry I’m late I’m such at being punctual, because that’s the truth. If someone says are you a free with me I don’t say no I’m not angry I just feel disappointed, instead I admit I do feel angry. The important thing to remember with radical-honesty is it begins with being honest with yourself, admitting how you feel and your own bad behaviours; it is not a license to tell people how annoying they are but begins by admitting what button/trigger is in me that they push.
Hello Peter, I cannot thank you enough for sharing your story your knowledge your ..well actually I am short of words…. I have to let it sink in a bit. THANK YOU!
Thank you for sharing your story and all the information that you share on your channel. I definitely related to a lot of your story. I have severe bipolar 1 with psychotic features, and have been searching for holistic solutions for maintaining control and balance for years now, and have found success but also have had lots of backsliding and multiple hospitalizations as well. I started taking lithium carbonate earlier this year (I'm at 300mg a day, but definitely considering lithium orotate as an alternative) and this in combination with a supplement (True Hope Empower Plus) and regular cardio exercise has got me in a pretty stable place, but there's definitely room for improvement!
When we stop taking medicines the within 1-2 months again Mania occurs what to do to cure it 😢 Should the medicines be taken regularly and always as Weight is gaining continuously due to this
Your story is very similar to mine. I came here to the US as a kid. I always battle with phobias and later on panic attacks and some bouts of depression but never really thought something was wrong me with. I just thought that’s how life was. Later when I hit 30 I went in to my second bout of mental decline. I have never been to a doctor because of money and plus because I was not from this country so I’ve always had to just manage my self. This last episode I went through really took it out on me. I don’t even know how I made it through. All I could do was just pray. This is when I came to a realization that definitely I had some type of mental problem. I just never saw it. And I’ve always wondered why my brothers and sister never had the problems I did. Ever since then I have always battle with my emotions and thoughts trying to find a solution. It’s been now three years and I Can manage it somewhat but I still get bouts of depression and sometimes lots of anxiety. But I did notice how I can get very manic. Like I suddenly get bouts of energy and motivation but than I remember that it’s a trap. Setting me up for a low. So I try to just chill out and not get to motivated.
What an amazing story! I am so impressed with your determination to find the answers and to heal yourself. Do you take clients? I can’t find a website on your UA-cam. Thanks!
You’re welcome. It’s been a long while since I made video, this month I’m filming a new video on the 15 causes of bipolar disorder. It will explain what we now understand causes bipolar and what I believe we can do to treat it.
Your video was recommended to me today. I share many similarities with you. BD II, didn’t really accept the diagnosis as I never really thought the sleeplessness was because of mania. I stopped all prescription medications about six years ago. Doctors wouldn’t listen to my complaints and I didn’t feel the side effects were worth the risk. I been trying to manage naturally as much as possible by employing some similar methods that you touched on but I need to explore your other videos. So I am very grateful for your work here as it is timely and I hope will help propel me forward. I believe this will be the case as I understand what you shared and to some extent know from some similar life experiences. I look forward to watching and employing your suggestions and again I’m very grateful. Thank you!
@@MisterMeow-vt8kl You’re welcome. I’m filming a new video this month on the 15 known causes of bipolar disorder and suggestion on how to treat them, it’ll be uploaded in about 3 weeks.
I was hoping that you will mention the herbs and their amounts. I looked up your webpage, and didn't find any specifics either. Have you written a book about it?
There are many serotonin boosting supplements, there’s supplements that increase the production of serotonin and others that stimulate regrowth and regeneration of the serotonin pathways in the brain. BUT before you boost serotonin synthesis with any supplements you must eliminate chronically elevated cytokines/inflammation because cytokines/inflammation directs serotonin metabolism away from serotonin towards the production of neuro-toxic quinolinic acid. If you take serotonergic supplements when you still have elevated cytokine/inflammation they may produce the opposite paradoxical effects and make things worse. So first eliminate inflammation coming from:- Over activation of the HPA axis, which may be genetically inbuilt in your system or from chronic stress, An imbalanced diet, (omega 3:6 balance, inadequate pollyphenols/flavonoids, poor blood sugar/insulin control), Poor gut microbiome, and/or gut infections SIBO, Leaky gut, Allergy disorder, High BMI (weight), Deficiencies: D3, magnesium et.al., Smoking, Dental, gum disease, Inadequate sleep, Current and even historical infections like Lyme, Epstein bar, streptococcus, ear infections, chest infections, sinus i infections… Clean up ALL the above issues (this could take from weeks to months) then your serotonin metabolism will function in a non-depressive way and serotonergic supplements can work the way you want them to.
Brother, greetings! I am 78. Bipolar since age 12. Predominantly depressed You seem a godsend! Admirable! How to get in touch with you/ benefit from your Epic Self Conquest! Every good wish 🤞!
I'll be starting up again in 2023 with a series of videos on natural self-help solutions for bipolar disorder, let me know if there's a particular aspect or subject you would like to see video on, no promises but I may make a video on it.
I am also agree with you because I don't know I have bipolar disorder but today I recovered and my mind is so clear and like a mature I am 26 year age. your video is very important for bipolar disorder people .your are a good doctor for mental illness thanks a lot doctor .I Am form India
So sorry you experienced this at such a young age!!!! So unfortunate! Are you married? Dating!? You’re so aware and solution oriented and conscientious! I’m started LO today! So hopeful to relieve depression and stress induced anxiety!
Life issues got in the way but I’m now ready to start making videos again. Started writing the next video script on bipolar disorder just this week, maybe ready in 5 weeks.
I’m current working on a video giving an overview of the neurobiology of bipolar disorder and the self help techniques we can use today to combat it. I only give supplement formulas after seeing a patient for an initial consultation, you can find details on my website.
@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments I look forward to it. I composed a lengthy thank you for your informative and compassionate reply to me regarding radical honesty but it was lost. I'll just say thank you so very much because it was exhausting to write and my brain is fried. Just know that you are saving lives and improving living. Really know it.
Glad it helped, it actually helps me to hear that, I really didn’t light making that video, but it turns out other people such as yourself value the content; so I’ll have to get over myself and make more of that type of stuff.
Just found your channel. It's so inspirational. My daughter is soon to be 28 and he has bipolar with savear canatonia. There treating her now with 2mg adivan 4x daily. It's very scary. I would love for us to zoom possibly with you?

Hello Peter. A girlfriend of mine suffering from manic dissorder and bipolar, is using antidepresants/mood stabilisers( Valium + Seroquel 400mg) for the past 10 years. Her sleep is destroyed, her eating is a mess, has memory issues and she is bad at social interractions. Her personality is changed, yet in one to one living, she is quite normal, if doing simple activities. Also her ODC is bad, time has another meaning in her world. Any suggestions? Any would help, I don't want to loose her, as I am hinting she can be recovered. Many many thanks
Hi Dr Pedro Smith. I'm from Brazil and I discovered your channel by researching Lithium Orotate with English words (my language is Brazilian Portuguese). Anyway. to ask if you would like 70 dental restorations performed with mercury decade amalgam. I say this because mercury is very toxic.

Next video will be an overview of the therapeutic targets for BD recovery (chapter 1 of my forthcoming book Livening Well with Bipolar). The neuroplasticity chapter is some time away.
Thank you, that’s a nice thing to say. From 11 to my late 40’s I didn’t want to be alive, even when I was not severely depressed I still wished I’d never been born. For the past 14 years since I got the right diagnosis of BD 2 and started effectively treating it I fundamentally changed how I feel about my life. With my mental illness totally under control I’m happy to be alive, remember the first time I realised that my psychology had changed and I felt happy I’d been born. I guess for most people that sounds like a strange thing to say but when you live with constant mental illness life is a struggle. I even found meaning in all the years of suffering I endured by seeing how through it I learned how to help others, so I feel no regret or lament over years lost to mental illness. My big explainer video on bipolar should be ready by August 24. Again thanks 💛
Wow! I have the same thing where I can’t get up! When I am up, I suppose, my home is so organized, I’m out exercising and taking care of myself! Have to look into dopaminergic foods. I now do a minimum of 30 mins on the elliptical daily and weights.

Hiya mate,my mum was diagnosed properly in 2008,we went into care etc. Shes been medicated with injections since then. What is your daily schedule like? Do you exercise,im guessing you eat right. Shes always smoked cannabis,however within the last 7 years since she been on other drugs on and off. She went from 13stone to 7 stone,she has bipolar 1. Shes 43 now and i just want to help her change and watch her become better with how she speaks thinks,what she does throughout the day . Im interested in your studies etc as youve tried quite spiritual things. This is an interesting video,it goes to show how powerful the brain/subconscious can be,it is possible to rewire howrver its so complex and very diffcult. Im just want to help my mum ,im 20 and its very hard in a messy environment etc. I get her traits etc as im the one who shown her a video about her mental health which help her learnt more about it than ever. I resonate with alot of whay you say within this video,you seem to be into and want to study alot of what im intrigued in. I hope your well.

The supplements, amino acids and herbs I use recommend are just part of a whole package I prescribe in my practice. They are a waste of money if a persons diet, stress levels and other factors like sleep and digestion are holding things back. And these things are different in individual cases. I’d be happy to write a prescription of supplements and the other things after we’ve had a 1-2-1 appointment and I’ve take your case history.

Peter: can you share your opinion on moderate alcohol use with Lithium orotate. I like a glass of wine or cocktail few times weekly. What are your thoughts while taking lithium orotate?
In terms of interaction with the lithium orotate alcohol is fine, no special concerns. Dehydration is to be avoided even on low doses lithium orotate, so consume some hydrating fluids with your wine. I used to drink a 1/4 bottle of wine a day and by bipolar was stable, at moderate doses alcohol does little harm and deliverer stress and pleasure benefits. There’s a little evidence that even moderate alcohol consumption may reduce brain volume, and I did used to wonder if a very vulnerable brain such as my own should continue to drink. I gave up drinking alcohol entirely because as I continued to balance my brain reached a point where I simply stopped enjoying or getting any benefits from it; I interpret this as a good sigh but to be honest I miss the pleasure and relaxation it used to deliver.
@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments - thank you. Very helpful. ❤❤❤ You have come a long way in your recovery. Great courage! p.s. I'm definitely not a big alcohol drinker but I agree that "pleasure" is derived in moderation.
I used to have anxiety/panic disorder with public speaking, it's only in the last couple of years that I've completely overcome this. I used a combination of exposure therapy (repeatedly exposing myself to the very thing I was afraid of) and I believe intensive meditation also changed the anxious wiring in my brain. Now that I'm free from this opens up new possibilities and I am planning to do some public speaking on's mental health recovery. Thanks for the encouragement

Well done on recognising the manic phases, this is a really important discovery. People can have unrecognised BP for years, only seeing the depression episodes.
To stop the depressions you have to stop the manias in the first place.
Manias rev up and exhaust the brain, the manias follow the depressions.
Also on order to treat the depressions without precipitating another cycle you have to be able to manage/prevent mania.

This is very hopeful. I'm currently diagnosed with Bipolar 1. I'm on Abilify 200mg monthly injection. It keeps me out of hospital and from becoming manic. But oh boy I feel like a watered down version of myself. I cant focus. I'm very unsatisfied with how life is right now and I know theres a natural route, your advice and experience is an answer to my prayers. Thankyou for sharing.
Thank God for giving you the power and the wisdom to survive all this and to tell others that are going through same or similar problems. Your story is very touching ❤
God bless you
Thank you for saying that.
You are a true life saver. Thank you for being so strong. You have/are going to help so many people. ❤
Thanks.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
God bless you. I feel like you’ve just summed up my life.
Thank you for having the courage to share your experiences, people really don’t understand what we go through.
I can’t wait to watch your other videos.
This makes me so happy! Cognitive decline is one of my biggest fears! I’ve been taking turmeric and DIM for years so hopefully your holistic plan will help me as well! Thanks again!
And hope the videos continue! Continued health!
We know so much about how to boost neuroplasticity to maintain brain health and even repair it, so we people with mental health problems can prevent cognitive decline.
Keep up the good work Peter, it’s wonderful that you put yourself out there so that people can learn about their own mental illness.
I recently got off olanzapine using lithium orotate, NAC and Niacinamide is a wonderful natural remedy for anxiety. Thank you for your videos.
Olanzapine is a horrible drug I was on it for a short while didn't like its numbing effect on emotions.
Bless you doc .
I too have bi polar and have been hospitalized 3 times .on and off lithium without a proper understanding. receiving more information from your videos then anyone else . Thankyou and God bless
I’m working on a whole series of Vids on bipolar disorder.
Well articulated. I suffer from BP2 diagnosed a couple of years ago. Your description of symptoms is spot on, thanks for getting the word out there.
Your videos are helping me so much! Can you do a video about how you repaired your neuroplasticity? And the natural remedies you use? I am terrified of taking medication and i want to do this naturally
Thank you so much! My daughter's 12 has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and hearing you iis a bless!
Glad it was helpful.
In my next video I’ll give an overview of the biology of bipolar disorder and what we can do to control it.
You are so comforting good man. It's been a while since you posted this but are you able to do more vids? Just hearing your voice makes me feel understood and at peace 💗🙋
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your personal ordeal and all the knowledge you gathered. You are an inspiration. I´m a psychiatrist, and want to learn more about natural remedies to alleviate psychiatric conditions.
I think you’ll find my next series of videos on the biology and self help treatment options of bipolar disorder useful.
The first one will be an overview of a dozen biological manifestations of bipolar and what we can do to help ourselves control them and hence the condition. It should be ready in about 6 weeks.
I’m always delighted to hear where psychiatrists and doctors take an interest in my work. If there’s any possibility of collaboration or presenting my work I would love to do that. The current treatment options are so very limited and often problematic. Although there are several exiting new treatment methods being investigated progress is painfully slow.
Anyway thanks for your comment.
I m glad I found you here I had brain surgery 2029 and I fix myself and get through the worst time till today 2024 I just realized I have the bipolar symptoms plus I m on my menopause it’s terrible but thank you for all knowledge I m working on myself now thank you
My next video will be on bipolar disorder biology and self help solutions.
We now know a lot about what bipolar disorder is and what we can do to control it.
I think it’ll be ready in about 6 weeks.
Thank you so much for this!!!!! I needed it.
You’re welcome
Let me know if there’s a particular subject you are interested in seeing videos on.
Your story is so familiar. People that don’t suffer from stuff like that have no idea how every day can feel like you hanging on by your fingertips.
I swear!
YOU ARE MY IDOL! You’re a HERO. Thank you for keep on fighting and searching for a solution ❤❤❤❤ we depend on you ❤❤❤
Thanks, you made me blush:-)
As someone who also suffers from bipolar disorder (2), thank you. Your videos have given me the understanding and tools to try and stabilize my moods and I am more optimistic than I have ever been.
Just found your channel. It’s amazing, it’s like you’re reading from my life’s story. I have a question though, do you have a list of the supplements you took to finally fix you and what each one does?
Amazingly I’ve noticed even the more random things you are mentioning like a difficultly hearing and difficulty remembering things. But only in my low phase. When normal or hypomanic I am super sharp and quick on the uptake and it’s so strange to see how drastically this all affects me. Very happy to have found this channel. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and hope you can help those of us suffering.
I was decertified as having a Serious Mental Illness (from BPD) even though multiple professionals told me it was impossible! So happy to hear other stories of people actually recovering! Would love to collab with you on a video sometime!
How are you so far ?
@@elyousfi5661 Happier than I ever thought possible! I talk a lot about my story on my own channel here if you need some insight!
Debatable
Please elaborate on what you are saying, the one word “debatable” comment doesn’t inform other peoples understanding of their own condition, of mental health or even what you are thinking.
To me it feels a bit sarcastic or at least sceptical, it’s ok to own and express criticism and sarcasm but please elaborate your thoughts and feelings so that others can understand your thoughts and respond to them.
@@Nothingnothing1111how can you debate a persons personal experience? She is living it and it was possible for her, that gives hope to others. How can you debate her on her truth?
This is such an amazing story! So appreciate sharing your story.
You are welcome
@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments are you still seeing patients? I haven't seen any recent posts by you 😔
Yes I’m still working seeing patients🙂
To book an appointment just email me letting me know where you are located/what time zone you are in so I can work out when we could meet.
GAAAAAAAWDDDD KNOWS HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS!! GOOOODDD BLEESSSS YOU!!
Glad you liked it.
My next video (out spring 24) should interest you, it’ll include a lot of new content on bipolar disorder and depression with frequent inclusion of lithium.
Right on man. Im natural too & try to get in the comments on bp videos to hopefully inspire even ONE person to try natural at least once throughout the course of illness. It takes a lot of work to press on through the pain. I think the key to natural is regular therapy.
When no one else was talking about bipolar and natural remedies, like lithium orotate ,I found you thank you , I hope your doing well, I’d love more videos
Thank you for this video. Really goes a long way for me.
Thank you for posting your story, I relate a lot to your experience.
You’re welcome.
Thank you sir. You are much appreciated.
You are welcome
I just want to say thank you!!! I know hard it is to live with bipolar. You have gave me hope again!
You are very welcome, bipolar disorder is a complex condition because it has 2 sides, however, it does respond to treatment and I believe that many people can partially or wholly control the condition using natural therapies.
19:19 I too refused for years to acknowledge that I had Schizoaffective disorder, until with self experimentation, taking time off everything, observing/journaling and further study, it was crystal clear that that's the case in hand unfortunately. to treat anything, one has to admit it first, accept what is & go from there.
Thanks for sharing.
I am spreading what you have taught me on my channel and continuing to learn more. I'm no professional but you are my guide and my inspiration. I have gotten two people better so far. Thank you so much. I will link your channel in mine.
Glad to help
Thank u for your story. Just found your channel and is helping me a lot. 🤗
Thank you for sharing! What an organized, authentic and helpful video!
Doctor you are wonderful, I do appreciate your story. Thank you.
Your are blowing my mind.... I did not realize I was cycling but I was using two products by Nature Sunshine, Mood Elevator for the depression, and Nervous Fatigue for the hypomania.... I also used 5HTP, b complex and GABA.. Pretty much full time. Others too, but this was the main ones....I am so into getting better control over this and possibly seeing my son get off of these prescription drugs. What about extreme psychosis in mania? He is on an antipsychotic, risperdone, his psychiatric nurse hopes to raise his lithium enough to stop that one... He's only been on this stuff for 2 months... 😎 Thanks for this!!!!
Your honesty and courage are shockingly refreshing and encouraging.
Thank you for saying that.
A few years ago I started to follow the practice of ‘radical-honesty’, it feels clean and easier to live with, there’s even a wiki how page on how to do it! www.wikihow.com/Practice-Radical-Honesty
One consent in radical-honesty is when you lie you give away your power because you cannot stand in your own truth in front of the other person, you have to hide your truth from them.
When I’m late I don’t tel the lie sorry I’m late the traffic was awful, I say sorry I’m late I’m such at being punctual, because that’s the truth.
If someone says are you a free with me I don’t say no I’m not angry I just feel disappointed, instead I admit I do feel angry.
The important thing to remember with radical-honesty is it begins with being honest with yourself, admitting how you feel and your own bad behaviours; it is not a license to tell people how annoying they are but begins by admitting what button/trigger is in me that they push.
Hello Peter, I cannot thank you enough for sharing your story your knowledge your ..well actually I am short of words…. I have to let it sink in a bit.
THANK YOU!
Please more videos! This is gold
Iam so amazed by your video !!! Well done.Thankyou for sharing you knowledge your wonderful!
Thank you for sharing your story and all the information that you share on your channel. I definitely related to a lot of your story. I have severe bipolar 1 with psychotic features, and have been searching for holistic solutions for maintaining control and balance for years now, and have found success but also have had lots of backsliding and multiple hospitalizations as well. I started taking lithium carbonate earlier this year (I'm at 300mg a day, but definitely considering lithium orotate as an alternative) and this in combination with a supplement (True Hope Empower Plus) and regular cardio exercise has got me in a pretty stable place, but there's definitely room for improvement!
When we stop taking medicines the within 1-2 months again Mania occurs what to do to cure it 😢 Should the medicines be taken regularly and always as Weight is gaining continuously due to this
Your story is very similar to mine. I came here to the US as a kid. I always battle with phobias and later on panic attacks and some bouts of depression but never really thought something was wrong me with. I just thought that’s how life was. Later when I hit 30 I went in to my second bout of mental decline. I have never been to a doctor because of money and plus because I was not from this country so I’ve always had to just manage my self. This last episode I went through really took it out on me. I don’t even know how I made it through. All I could do was just pray. This is when I came to a realization that definitely I had some type of mental problem. I just never saw it. And I’ve always wondered why my brothers and sister never had the problems I did. Ever since then I have always battle with my emotions and thoughts trying to find a solution. It’s been now three years and I Can manage it somewhat but I still get bouts of depression and sometimes lots of anxiety. But I did notice how I can get very manic. Like I suddenly get bouts of energy and motivation but than I remember that it’s a trap. Setting me up for a low. So I try to just chill out and not get to motivated.
You are awesome! Thank you very much for sharing. Gives me hope.
You are so welcome
What an amazing story! I am so impressed with your determination to find the answers and to heal yourself. Do you take clients? I can’t find a website on your UA-cam. Thanks!
Excellent explanation and I appreciate you sharing. Thank you!
You’re welcome. It’s been a long while since I made video, this month I’m filming a new video on the 15 causes of bipolar disorder. It will explain what we now understand causes bipolar and what I believe we can do to treat it.
Your video was recommended to me today. I share many similarities with you. BD II, didn’t really accept the diagnosis as I never really thought the sleeplessness was because of mania. I stopped all prescription medications about six years ago. Doctors wouldn’t listen to my complaints and I didn’t feel the side effects were worth the risk. I been trying to manage naturally as much as possible by employing some similar methods that you touched on but I need to explore your other videos. So I am very grateful for your work here as it is timely and I hope will help propel me forward. I believe this will be the case as I understand what you shared and to some extent know from some similar life experiences.
I look forward to watching and employing your suggestions and again I’m very grateful. Thank you!
@@MisterMeow-vt8kl You’re welcome.
I’m filming a new video this month on the 15 known causes of bipolar disorder and suggestion on how to treat them, it’ll be uploaded in about 3 weeks.
Really happy you let healing happen in your life.
This is so moving. So thankful for you.
Thank you so much for sharing I can relate and makes me feel positive about my future
You are so welcome.
Hope you like my next series of videos.
🙌🏻would be great to have a new video to see how you are and what youve been doing !
I have a new series of videos on bipolar coming soon…
What a story! How you held on all along the way.
Thank you. I want to share more of the details of the various experiments I tried with different supplements and diets.
I was hoping that you will mention the herbs and their amounts. I looked up your webpage, and didn't find any specifics either. Have you written a book about it?
Hi Peter, which combination of natural supplements do you recommend for boosting serotonin?
www.balancingbrainchemistry.co.uk/peter-smith/1/HOME.html
There are many serotonin boosting supplements, there’s supplements that increase the production of serotonin and others that stimulate regrowth and regeneration of the serotonin pathways in the brain.
BUT before you boost serotonin synthesis with any supplements you must eliminate chronically elevated cytokines/inflammation because cytokines/inflammation directs serotonin metabolism away from serotonin towards the production of neuro-toxic quinolinic acid. If you take serotonergic supplements when you still have elevated cytokine/inflammation they may produce the opposite paradoxical effects and make things worse.
So first eliminate inflammation coming from:-
Over activation of the HPA axis, which may be genetically inbuilt in your system or from chronic stress,
An imbalanced diet, (omega 3:6 balance, inadequate pollyphenols/flavonoids, poor blood sugar/insulin control),
Poor gut microbiome, and/or gut infections SIBO,
Leaky gut,
Allergy disorder,
High BMI (weight),
Deficiencies: D3, magnesium et.al.,
Smoking,
Dental, gum disease,
Inadequate sleep,
Current and even historical infections like Lyme, Epstein bar, streptococcus, ear infections, chest infections, sinus i infections…
Clean up ALL the above issues (this could take from weeks to months) then your serotonin metabolism will function in a non-depressive way and serotonergic supplements can work the way you want them to.
Brother, greetings! I am 78. Bipolar since age 12. Predominantly depressed

Amazing video. It gives me hope on my own healing journey.
Do you think electroconvulsive therapy is a good option for people with bipolar ?
So sorry you experienced this at such a young age!!!! So unfortunate!
Are you married? Dating!? You’re so aware and solution oriented and conscientious!
I’m started LO today! So hopeful to relieve depression and stress induced anxiety!

Thank yoy for beinf selfless and helping people. I wish you had more mewer videos.
Life issues got in the way but I’m now ready to start making videos again. Started writing the next video script on bipolar disorder just this week, maybe ready in 5 weeks.
I’m glad you got better
Thank you, it’s been 13 straight years of wellness with my condition completely under control, I almost cannot believe it.
I Subscribed to your channel... Your a Genius! Thank 😊 you brother... Which one of your Podcasts talks about your mixtures???

Thank you for being Soo open I subscribed !!!
Let me know if there's a particular subject you are interested in seeing in future videos.
I am bipolar and paranoia is a huge part of my life. My GP doctor told me there is no therapy for bipolar only medication.
It's so important to be enthusiastic about different things.
I am interested in seeing more videos on restoring/enhancing cognitive function and memory after a long period of depression.
I’ve got a vid coming up on inflammation and depression, I’m probably mention that issues in that vid
@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments I look forward to it. I composed a lengthy thank you for your informative and compassionate reply to me regarding radical honesty but it was lost. I'll just say thank you so very much because it was exhausting to write and my brain is fried. Just know that you are saving lives and improving living. Really know it.
@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments is there any cure of bipolar?
Great video. That really helps. Thanks!
Glad it helped, it actually helps me to hear that, I really didn’t light making that video, but it turns out other people such as yourself value the content; so I’ll have to get over myself and make more of that type of stuff.
Just found your channel. It's so inspirational. My daughter is soon to be 28 and he has bipolar with savear canatonia. There treating her now with 2mg adivan 4x daily. It's very scary. I would love for us to zoom possibly with you?

Love the video!! Would you be willing to post your neuroplasticity treatment?
Hello Peter. A girlfriend of mine suffering from manic dissorder and bipolar, is using antidepresants/mood stabilisers( Valium + Seroquel 400mg) for the past 10 years. Her sleep is destroyed, her eating is a mess, has memory issues and she is bad at social interractions. Her personality is changed, yet in one to one living, she is quite normal, if doing simple activities. Also her ODC is bad, time has another meaning in her world. Any suggestions? Any would help, I don't want to loose her, as I am hinting she can be recovered. Many many thanks
this is such a great help to me thank you so much
You are very welcome
Good luck with your healing journey
Hi Dr Pedro Smith.
I'm from Brazil and I discovered your channel by researching Lithium Orotate with English words (my language is Brazilian Portuguese).
Anyway. to ask if you would like 70 dental restorations performed with mercury decade amalgam. I say this because mercury is very toxic.
Hello, thankyou for your work!! I can relate to all of those. Are you still taking patients?
Yes, you can book directly online from my Calendly link:

So, Can we get a update soon? Wish you all the best.
I’m well, I worked out how to keep my bipolar under control and regenerated the brain damage I had, and I’ve been really well and thou our enjoying my life for the past 13 years now.

Amazing story !
I m so thankfull for your life. Thank you so much to hold on guy 🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡
Thank you, that’s a nice thing to say.
From 11 to my late 40’s I didn’t want to be alive, even when I was not severely depressed I still wished I’d never been born.
For the past 14 years since I got the right diagnosis of BD 2 and started effectively treating it I fundamentally changed how I feel about my life. With my mental illness totally under control I’m happy to be alive, remember the first time I realised that my psychology had changed and I felt happy I’d been born. I guess for most people that sounds like a strange thing to say but when you live with constant mental illness life is a struggle.
I even found meaning in all the years of suffering I endured by seeing how through it I learned how to help others, so I feel no regret or lament over years lost to mental illness.
My big explainer video on bipolar should be ready by August 24.
Again thanks 💛
Thank you for this video ❤
You’re welcome…
Wow! I have the same thing where I can’t get up! When I am up, I suppose, my home is so organized, I’m out exercising and taking care of myself! Have to look into dopaminergic foods.

I had a major crash this summer. Turns out I have pernicious anemia with symptoms that presented mentally. I’ve been misdiagnosed for over a decade
What would you say for someone with bipolar and psychosis?
I wish u would share what herbs u used to boost ur neuroplasticity I will be researching them but I’d love to hear what herbs u used
God bless your soul.
Hiya mate,my mum was diagnosed properly in 2008,we went into care etc. Shes been medicated with injections since then. What is your daily schedule like? Do you exercise,im guessing you eat right. Shes always smoked cannabis,however within the last 7 years since she been on other drugs on and off. She went from 13stone to 7 stone,she has bipolar 1. Shes 43 now and i just want to help her change and watch her become better with how she speaks thinks,what she does throughout the day . Im interested in your studies etc as youve tried quite spiritual things. This is an interesting video,it goes to show how powerful the brain/subconscious can be,it is possible to rewire howrver its so complex and very diffcult. Im just want to help my mum ,im 20 and its very hard in a messy environment etc. I get her traits etc as im the one who shown her a video about her mental health which help her learnt more about it than ever. I resonate with alot of whay you say within this video,you seem to be into and want to study alot of what im intrigued in. I hope your well.
I think i multple disabilities my past and bi polar is one of them thank you i am a 50 year old man suffering from alcoholism drug addiction and when i was 7 or 8 i thought about suicide and when 6 memories are completely not there and in kindergrden the staff had no idea of what was going on and know that i am thank you going to try this God bless everyone I'd to make a differnce
thank you so much,
You are welcome!
Ok well what did you take exactly ?
What kind of vitamins would you recommend
The supplements, amino acids and herbs I use recommend are just part of a whole package I prescribe in my practice. They are a waste of money if a persons diet, stress levels and other factors like sleep and digestion are holding things back.
And these things are different in individual cases.
I’d be happy to write a prescription of supplements and the other things after we’ve had a 1-2-1 appointment and I’ve take your case history.

Peter: can you share your opinion on moderate alcohol use with Lithium orotate.
I like a glass of wine or cocktail few times weekly. What are your thoughts while taking lithium orotate?
In terms of interaction with the lithium orotate alcohol is fine, no special concerns.
Dehydration is to be avoided even on low doses lithium orotate, so consume some hydrating fluids with your wine.
I used to drink a 1/4 bottle of wine a day and by bipolar was stable, at moderate doses alcohol does little harm and deliverer stress and pleasure benefits. There’s a little evidence that even moderate alcohol consumption may reduce brain volume, and I did used to wonder if a very vulnerable brain such as my own should continue to drink.
I gave up drinking alcohol entirely because as I continued to balance my brain reached a point where I simply stopped enjoying or getting any benefits from it; I interpret this as a good sigh but to be honest I miss the pleasure and relaxation it used to deliver.
@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments - thank you. Very helpful. ❤❤❤ You have come a long way in your recovery. Great courage!
p.s. I'm definitely not a big alcohol drinker but I agree that "pleasure" is derived in moderation.
thank you so much. much Love. xx
You should do a Ted talk!!!
I used to have anxiety/panic disorder with public speaking, it's only in the last couple of years that I've completely overcome this. I used a combination of exposure therapy (repeatedly exposing myself to the very thing I was afraid of) and I believe intensive meditation also changed the anxious wiring in my brain.
Now that I'm free from this opens up new possibilities and I am planning to do some public speaking on's mental health recovery.
Thanks for the encouragement
