ALLERGIES MISDIAGNOSED AS BIPOLAR

ALLERGIES TREATED AS "BIPOLAR" RESULT IN WOMAN'S INABILITY TO WORK

Linda Johnson of Sterling Heights, Michigan, had been referred to Henry Ford Hospital's behavior health department for treatment for stress and anxiety due to unforeseen hazardous conditions in a new residence. She was labeled "bipolar" by one of the many psychiatrists who treated her. She was in her third year of psychiatric treatment when she realized she was only getting worse with each new psychiatric drug prescribed. Linda went from being active and employed to having to take a leave of absence from her work due to inability to function in a drug-induced stupor. When she questioned this drug approach to mental health, her psychiatrist assured her that alternatives didn't work and told her it could take 20 years to see an improvement in her condition. Linda was smart enough to get a second opinion from a real medical doctor who detected severe food and environmental allergies on her first visit. Once properly treated, her physical and mental health quickly returned to normal.
