This young lady struggled with major psychiatric symptoms since the age of seven. At that time her parents first looked into her behavioral problems with the medical staff of the Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. At age thirteen she revisited the Primary Children’s Hospital where she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. At that time she was hospitalized for three months. Later she would be institutionalized for fifteen months and then incarcerated at a female Training Center for sixteen months. In speaking of the Training Center she said that there she was treated like a criminal because she was out of control with rages and mood swings. She would smash things uncontrollably then move into a calm. Her total institutional time equated to thirty four months. She began the nutrient program in November 1996, eighteen years after the beginning of the disorder. Dianne fully recovered in the following three months from any of the psychiatric symptoms she previously exhibited. Her son who is now seven years old was diagnosed with severe ADHD has also recovered using the Truehope nutrient program.
