Mental Illness
I have recently started the CAD, and learning more each day. My 10 year old daughter has been diagnosed with: ADHD, Depression, PDD-NOS(autistic spectrum disorder), Psychosis, and Bipolar-Mood Disorders. While researching all of this I have found that these all have a common denominator. A chemical imbalance in the brain called serotonin. Which by the way is the same chemical imbalance for Carbohydrate Cravings. I have thought about putting my daughter on the CAD but with the other diagnoses I have to cut out glutin, casien, sugar, caffiene, and now carbs. This has lead to part of my depression in search for an answer and scared that I know the answer is a complete change of life(eating habits as well as behavior habits, for her and me). Has anybody found or researched this more and can you guide me in the proper direction?
