Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Live a healthy life.: Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Work to get 8 hours or > of sleep per night ; eat healthfully. Daily aerobic physical activity is a big +. All of us have ups and downs. If you are particularly concerned seek out psychiatric/ psychological evaluation.
