Question

Is it possible to be healed from mental illness and mental conditions?

I am unipolar and I have been taking medicne for over 20 years which works well the side effect is weight gain to which I started working out at the gym and changing my eating habits. My doctor wants me next year to start coming off more medcine ( I was reduced once before) My question is this what is the best way to the road of recovery and being healthy and strong and what are other things that I can do to better my physical and mental health?

Answer 1

Depending upn the level of neurotranmistters in your brain, meds may be needed to maintain a healthy level. Staying physically active, having a fulfilling life, etc. can compensate somewhat, It is possible to have your depression go into remission and not to have another episode, just prepare for it if it happens and hope that it doesn't. Good Luck!
