Cognitive behavioral: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to be as effective as medication for many people in treating both depression and anxiety. For many it has proven to be especially effective in helping to ensure long term recovery from those conditions. In addition, do your best to make healthy lifestyle choices-heart healthy diet, regular moderate exercise, 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
