Mental Disorders

These diseases are terribly stressful; I cannot imagine anything more stressful than having to cope with horrible voices and visions for decades. Not surprisingly, they also require very large doses of vitamins and minerals to repair the loss generated by the disease. This applies to schizophrenia1, infantile autism2, and the other mental disorders.
