I had a roommate who also had very serious mental health issues following a heavy investigation into meditation.  I never could piece out if there was any causality - did the issues cause him to seek help from meditation, or did the meditation cause the issues, or was it spurious? In the end it&#x27;s a lot of brain chemistry.<p>I appreciate courageous writers like the OP who help take the stigma away from mental illness with their writing.
