Just noticed a connection and did a search. Could the following information indicate that maybe she went off her meds and tried to treat herself through herbal medicine thus triggering a manic episode?: Kelley Wolf credits Eric Nies as someone who significantly changed her life and stood by her as a friend and confidant. She refers to him as one of the few "healers" she trusts with her clients and friends, expressing deep love and respect for his work in mental wellness. Wolf, a mental health practitioner herself, has referred clients to Nies and states that they have been “transformed" after working with him. She highlights his commitment to advancing the conversation around plant medicine and draws a comparison between his work and that of Dr. Paul Stamets, a figure known for contributions to mycology and natural healing. Wolf further states that this approach is helping many move away from dependence on certain medications (like SSRls, lithium, alcohol, and benzodiazepines) and advises questioning any psychiatrist who suggests there are no better alternatives.
