As part of my "Let's tackle mental health head on, full speed" agenda I've got going on here -- I've decided to try to do probably the hardest aspect, lifestyle changes. I'm gonna try to eat better, sleep better, and be a more social. Everyone knows a multimodal approach is best with mental health (specifically studied medication + therapy). I'm the first to kind of dismiss lifestyle changes ONLY because I know "they won't solve everything". but in conjunction, the benefit is probably worth it. Same could be said for JUST medication, or JUST therapy. Some have more weight than others I would say, but no one will correct everything. I'm giving this all I got -- so it includes the lifestyle changes I mentioned.
So, this is what my mental health care plan looks like
1) Medication (perhaps vitamins?)
2) Therapy 2x a week for now, until IOP -- my therapist is big on somatic therapy too -- so mind and body therapy.
3) Lifestyle changes -- eating better, sleeping better, getting out more and also being more social
Can you guys think of any additional lifestyle changes (or facets i'm missing?) I could add to my list?
Anyway, thanks for reading.
Brent
