Just healthy clean living. It has changed my life and I will never go back. I urge you to try it. Get some books from the library or do research online. There's lots of info out there. Again, good luck. You will be just fine. Take control of your destiny now, you won't regret it.

That may have worked for you and that is great but that doesn't work for a lot of people. Of course I would encourage TryingHard or anyone else to eat a healthy diet and exercise. But most often it is the case that that doesn't cure it. It has never cured my depression. Some of us need meds and therapy. I have been clean and sober 18 years but that didn't stop the depression. In my case I believe the depression is deeply ingrained genetically and biologically and diet and exercise just don't cut it. And I don't think that diet and exercise alone is going to help someone who is having psychosis. I am sorry I am rather sensitive on the matter because I can not tell you how many times people have told me that if I would just change my diet and exercise my depression would go away. Doesn't work that way for me.
I am very glad it worked for you.
