Lifestyle changes are powerful tools that can help you treat your depression and anxiety. They are a very important component of your integrated approach to treating depression. In some cases, these changes definitely work, but if you are experiencing a more severe type of depression, it is better to seek professional counseling.

Sleep is an essential part of your depression treatment. If you don’t get enough sleep, your depression symptoms can get worse. You can easily get more irritated, sad and moody.

Exercise can be as effective as medication treatment. Exercise boosts your serotonin and endorphins and it also triggers the growth of new brain cells. A half hour a day of exercise can make the difference.

Minimizing stress is essential to your treatment. Too much stress can aggravate your depression, so make sure you make enough changes in your life in order to eliminate as much stress as possible.

Nutrition is also very important. Eating well balanced meals can keep your energy up for most of the days and it’s also essential for your physical and mental health.
