A Welcome from Dr. Christina Bjorndal, ND
While I was doing my undergraduate degree at UBC in the late 1980ās, I experienced a debilitating depression and anxiety. I also had an eating disorder and was not coping with the stress I was under at that time.
Like most people, I had not heard about Naturopathic medicine so I was treated with medications that were not effective.
After taking the medication that was initially prescribed to alleviate depression, I swung into a psychotic manic episode and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 1.Ā
In 1994, after surviving a suicide attempt (which left me in a coma, on dialysis waiting for a kidney transplant), I finally began the healing process after reading a book called āA Return to Loveā by Marianne Williamson. Up until this point I was living with the shame and stigma of having a mental illness and I had not accepted myself.
Since reading that book, I have spent over 25 years learning to accept and understand myself & my diagnosis with the help of many types of practitioners. I have come to realize that there areĀ 10 steps to mental wellnessĀ and there are more natural ways to treat mental ādis-easeā.
