*sentiment 감정, 의견
It's a sentiment that Campbell knows well, and it's why he's pushing forward with this work.

---

In online forums, people with bipolar disorder were sharing similar anecdotes — they were finding improvements in their mood, increased clarity and fewer episodes of depression.

But as Campbell searched for ways to launch a proper clinical trial to test the diet's effectiveness, he became discouraged.
