Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes - interact.: 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 exercise is a big +. Recommend the “Feeling Good Book' by Dr. David Burns. Don't just read it - DO IT!
