RE: Do depression and anxiety always need medical treatment? I say NO! Part 1.
While a good diet is an important tool in fighting mental health illnesses there are many other factors to take into account. The pressure of our modern life with many wondering how they can afford to get through the next week is a major factor in the rise of mental illness.
People should use every avenue they can control such as diet, exercise and medicine but when in the grip of mental illness the first two options can be difficult for you to do.
I quite agree. I'm not saying don't take your meds. Just that sometimes there are other options to try. Although I'll cover some ways to deal with past situations and stress in the next post, if simply being unable to afford to live is the underlying problem, then we (as a whole) need to be looking for long term societal solutions.
