Doug: I AM SPEECHLESS|||| Our stories are so similiar. When I was 20, my
parents had me committed to NYU Columbia Institute for Psychiatric Care. I also
had 20 shock treatments and spent three years in that hospital. For the past 50
years I have lived a semi normal life, at times unconventional, and muddling
through life. Three years ago, a doctor finally did a heavy metals test and now
I know what is and was wrong with me. All those wasted years. Thanks for
sharing your story.
