Sometimes psychiatrists reach for psychiatric medications to treat people who are socially different and struggling with their place in the world. When in kindergarten, Kiki tested at the college level. However, she was pressured to socialize and not skip any grades. She also struggled with Autism spectrum disorder and identified as being queer. Growing up in a conservative Christian community made it even more difficult for her to fit in.

Between 1996 to 2009, Kiki was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and prescribed 49 different medications, sometimes taking nine at a time. She was able to wean off these medications before her holistic treatment with Dr. Lee in 2020.

Over the past three years, Kiki has worked with Dr. Lee on two separate occasions to continue her healing process. Kiki shares her challenges with belonging in the world and creating her way in life. How did she heal along the way and where is she headed? Listen to her amazing journey as she evolves from stressful isolation to finding her groove in life.
