At Last! You Can Have the Resources You Need to Manage Your Mental Health
Dear Friend,
How much is your mental health worth to you? If you’re concerned about your mental health, you’re not alone.
Anxiety and depression is a huge problem for millions of people. Alcohol abuse is estimated to effect 15 millions Americans. And behavioral and learning problems are rampant in our schools today.
Consider this:
Fact: The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 2 million children suffer with ADHD.
Fact: Stanford University Department of Psychiatry estimates that 5 - 10% of the population suffer with dyslexia – over 10 million people.
Fact: In 2004 Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield paid out one million claims to psychiatrists and psychologists.
Fact: The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine recently reported that 6.6% (over 16 million Americans) of people suffer with an episode of clinical depression in any given year.
Fact: The same report indicates the number of Americans suffering with depression at any time in their lifetime is over 50 million people, while the number of people with anxiety or panic disorder is over 40 million.
There’s no doubt about it, poor mental health is a huge problem for many. And what’s worse is that many people live with it without getting the help they need.
I know it can be tough out there. Not only are the chances very high that you'll need professional help at some point in time, but the process of finding the right therapist and therapy for you can be a tough proposition. That's why you'll want to know the important information that awaits you in this letter.
A long time ago I decided to become a psychologist because I found studying psychology was a matter of life and death. I also wanted to help people with the same kind of problems I had.
Over the years I created the program you’re reading about because I was struck by how vulnerable and uninformed many people are when they seek out help.
Of course many people will tell you that all you need to do is snap out of it, cheer up, get tough and quit complaining. WRONG! They don’t understand.
However, to make matters worse, if you look around at the mental health fields, you’re faced with a confusing array of professionals with different credentials. And the many self-help books out there can be even more confusing.
Sound at all familiar?
From personal experience I can relate.
My problems with a bad attitude, behavioral problems, dyslexia, inattention, and low grades was a way of life for many years.
Learning to read was a struggle from the word go. We thought there was something wrong with my eyes.
In Junior High School I failed Algebra the first time through due to bad attitude and negativity.
And because I came up during the great Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, I soon caught on to the wonders of drug induced altered states of consciousness.
Eventually my enlistment in the United States Air Force pulled me out of the downward spiral I was in and woke me up to the seriousness of life.
During military service two things happened that turned out to be pivotal in my development. First, my problems with anxiety, depression and substance abuse reached critical proportions and I almost didn’t make it out of Southeast Asia alive.
Secondly, I realized I was in dire need of help.
When I came back from Southeast Asia as a Disabled Vietnam Vet I was badly shaken and in need of help. One of my first stops was the Mental Hygiene Clinic at the local Veterans Administration Hospital.
At the VA I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and began a course of therapy that, in part, inspired me to become a psychologist myself. During those early therapy sessions I was able to kick the weed habit, and traded in my bong for a case and a fifth.
I had always thought of drinking as part of the ‘good life.” Everyone did it, or so it seemed to me. Drinking was always part of the social scene. In time, alcohol stopped being a social elixir for me because I didn’t need to socialize as a reason to drink.
Like many people who use alcohol habitually, I eventually became dependent on it to unwind. And one day many years ago I became unwound, alright, and it brought me to my knees.
That was a long time ago, and since then I've worked hard to find a way out of the morass I was in. Just as I discovered a way out for myself, I have good news for you!
My resource, “Caveat Emptor, Let The Buyer Beware, A Consumers Guide To Mental Services”, available in both print and ebook formats, has the answers you need to sort through your options and find a clear path to mental health. And my audio “Anti-Anxiety and Stress Relief Program”, available in both downloadable and CD formats, can show you how to handle your stress on your own right now.

Here's what some other people have said about my work:
| “On behalf of the St. Mary Magdalen Health Ministry and myself, I extend heartfelt thanks to you for your time, energy and knowledge. It is clear you are committed to your mission and that you sincerely care about the well being of the lives you touch. Livingston County is truly blessed to have you as a resourceful and trusted mental health professional…” Joyce Gonda, Co-Chair Health Ministry, St. Mary Magdalen Brighton, Michigan |

Okay, So What’s The Cost For This Valuable Resource?
First ask yourself what your health and well-being is worth to you? One of my exercises alone could save you a small fortune on drugs and treatments for anxiety and insomnia.
The average cost of a Psychiatrist is around $150.00 per hour where I'm from. Psychologists cost around $125.00 and up per hour. Social Workers get around $100.00 per hour. The cost of a months supply of prescription antianxiety or antidepressant medication is usually around $75.00 and up, and those drugs don't teach you to manage your feelings - they just mask them over.
Avoiding just one unnecessary or ineffective treatment could provide a substantial savings. Yet this information could be worth thousands of saved dollars if you can avoid a major mental health intervention. To be reasonable though, this program has to be affordable to the average person without a lot of extra dough.
That’s why the price of the program has been set at only $49.95 for the print and CD version, and $39.95 for the downloadable audio and ebook version.
