For example if somebody is struggling with long term unemployment?

Answer by Olivia Rose
One factor to consider is to know and understand what type of mental illness you may have, some being with you for life while others you may manage to get past. If you don't have any particular illness and you're going through a terrible time, such as long term unemployment, you may feel depressed and/or anxious but you may not actually be diagnosed as having it. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between if you have a mental illness or if you're stressing due to a tough time.

If you haven't been diagnosed with a mental illness but you think you may have a problem, try keeping your mind and body busy by doing things you enjoy and are interesting. Being close with family and friends is a good way to help yourself by being more involved in their lives. Online you can study about things/places you've always wondered about. Be good to yourself.

When trying to improve your mental health and you have been diagnosed with an illness(es) by a qualified physician be certain you take your medications properly. As I said earlier, some illnesses aren't curable and they're with you for life, but that's not the end of the world. Psych medications have come a long way in the last several years and they really do help when you find the right ones for you.

Along with medications and therapy, don't keep yourself hidden inside your house. It's important to get outside in the fresh air and sunshine, maybe going for a walk or taking a trip somewhere for the day. Just basically keep yourself busy doing things you would like to do.

Hope this helps.

Protandim is the only supplement clinically proven to reduce oxidative

stress by an average 40%, slowing down the cell aging process to the

level of a 20 year-old.* While conventional or direct antioxidants can

neutralize only one free radical molecule, Protandim triggers the

creation of enzymes that can each eliminate over a million free radical

molecules per second without being used up.
