Yes!: An understanding that it’s possible to recover from a major depressive episode & return to work & doing the things you enjoy in life is fundamental to helping with the recovery process. A naturally healthy lifestyle with daily aerobic exercise for about 30 minutes, good nutrition, adequate sleep & avoidance of drug & alcohol abuse & counseling can help dramatically with recovery & prevention!
