J.M., 43 years old
When I first sought treatment 7 years ago, I did not know what my problem was. I was hearing voices, seeing things, feeling things and could not sleep. At that time, I started having problems with my husband and we were considering to separate as he was not supportive of my situation at that time. I started drinking a lot of alcohol and had kidney and liver problems as well. My husband discussed my issues with my parents and they both decided to take me to the hospital. During my hospitalization for kidney problems, I consulted a MIND specialist for my sleeping problems and was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. However, I was not convinced that something was wrong with me and that I needed treatment. It wasn’t until I started my treatment and my symptoms decreased after around 3 months, that I accepted my condition. Ever since, my life is much better. I came back to my husband and kids, I sleep better, I don’t feel things that are not present anymore. Life is much better now after the care I received from the team.
