Help Your Depression Treatment Work

 7.Choose a Healthy Diet
Eating the right foods helps your body work at its best. And when your body is in good shape, your treatment works well. Not getting enough of some vitamins and minerals can make depression worse. And research shows that foods that are bad for your heart — like saturated fats — may even increase your risk for developing depression. Also, limit your alcohol intake or avoid it altogether if you and your doctor think alcohol use is a problem.

8.Get Your Sleep
Getting enough sleep boosts your mood and helps you cope with stress. In fact, most people with depression have sleep problems. To sleep better, exercise, have a regular meal and bedtime schedule, limit caffeine and alcohol, get outside during daylight, and have a relaxing bedtime routine.
