Although there are times when medication is necessary for mental health disorders just like there are times when it is necessary for physical health disorders, I believe that living a healthy life can make a major difference both in prevention and healing. You may already understand most of this post, but I hope in future weeks you will find something that can help add to your program.

Based upon the latest research, a personal trainer works with 1 or 2 clients at a time to take them through a prescribed dose of "exercise" We have seen a 73% rate of remission of the 12 week program. The only drawback is that only workplaces with a unionized workforce have been willing to try this program. Anti-depressants are a much cheaper short-term solution. Long term, the results from anti-depressant therapy is looking worse year after year. Over the past few years, I have run a fitness program for people suffering with mild to moderate depression.
