My Story
Anxiety, panic attacks, and depression brought me to a place in 1984 where I could no longer function at all, lost all hope of ever recovering, and attempted to end my life. I was hospitalized, and set upon a path of holistic healing. My healing was slow, but steady, and I've since attained a freedom I could have never dreamed possible. I've spent close to 4 decades aquiring new tools and putting into practice some of the simplest of ideas and techniques to build a healtheir mind and body. In 2015 I decided I'd share my experience with the world in hopes that my struggles, education, and efforts might be able to help others do the same.
I welcome you to share in my journey...

"A helpful guide for anyone on a journey of healing. He has written things in a concise format with bite-size understandable suggestions to improve well-being. As a psychiatrist I was quite excited to read this book... and can confirm it is extremely useful information. Everyone should apply these things at some point in their life."

"Your book is fantastic! Thank you. I love it personally and intend to suggest all my clients read (and practice) it as well. Thanks for sharing your healing journey with the world."
-- Dr. Tina Lightner-Morris, D.Min, MS, LCPC, IAYT-C, BCC
"Simply put, this is the best book that I've read in a while that recommends a holistic approach to treating depression and anxiety. That being said, the author doesn't dismiss the validity of traditional therapies and medications when they become necessary."
-- Sue Gold, LCSW-R, ACSW
"50 Things to Do Before Seeing a Psychiatrist is an excellent resource. It's full of time tested techniques proven effective towards living a healthier life both mentally and physically. Mr. Baldizzone lays these techniques out in a thoughtful, easy to digest manner. I've been recommending this book to clients since I first picked it up in February of 2017."
