I am not a doctor, but there are some things that make you feel better about yourself...besides the use of drugs. Exercise , Creativity, Music, Humor, Helping others, friendship, beautiful scenery, a lovely garden, watching the sun come up in the morning and setting in the evening, taking time to smell the roses, meditation, Prayer

My wife was having problems sleeping - was prescribed Ambien. It knocked her out, but didn’t do really anything really for the quality of her rest.

Joined a gym. Started intensive exercise 2-3 times / week.
Now she sleeps just fine. No exercise, though, means no sleep.

Being sedentary does strange things to people.

Ever experienced someone who has suffered a psychotic break? I have. None of your ‘cures’ above would do squat.

I really like your list of ways to help us deal with life. You’ve suggested a lot of things that we too often forget on our drive to the psychiatrist. My mother worked for a psychiatrist decades ago and she (the psychiatrist) often said that if more people went to church, she’d be out of a job.
