The pharmaceutical companies are known for making up diseases and disorders so they can sell more medications....People really have to get educated on what is happening in this business, and yes it is a business and a huge one at that.....
I have also heard that, which is why I take a fish oil capsule every day. They had me try several antidepressants, and told me I was depressed in addition to my GAD. Those meds made me feel like I wasn't a person, so I got off of them. I switched to a gluten free diet (the changes from that alone were astounding, no more brain fog), I started taking omega 3s, B complex, and Tryptophan supplements. Also, I quit smoking and drinking caffiene. I can't tell you how much better I feel. The only thing I take meds for now is an occastional Ativan for anxiety. I agree that Doctors really don't loook at your diet to see if that is causing problems.
