When you really take things into your own hands and you're working with people who are determined to get to the root cause of it and you might have to work with a number of different kinds of doctors and practitioners to get there.
Ever feel lost in the maze of healthcare options? Adrienne Nolan-Smith has been there. Diagnosed with Lyme disease at just 11, she’s navigated the complex world of healthcare and mental health treatments and is here to share her wisdom. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Adrienne sits down with host Paul Gilmartin to discuss everything from experimental treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and bovine colostrum therapy to integrative medicine and the age-old battle between pharmaceuticals and Eastern remedies.
But it's not just about the treatments; it's about finding the right doctor who will advocate for you and get to the root cause of your health issues.

She emphasizes the importance of trusting your instincts and being open-minded about trying different treatments.
Whether you're dealing with chronic illness or supporting someone who is, Adrienne's insights offer a roadmap for taking control of your health journey. Tune in for a conversation that’s as informative as it is empowering, and learn how to become your own best advocate in the often overwhelming world of healthcare.
