In addition to the professional treatment you receive for your mental
health disorder (which may include medication and/or psychotherapy),
the healthy living habits you develop and practice are equally
important parts of managing your illness. Your lifestyle (including
your eating habits, exercise patterns, sleep, recreational activities,
social relationships and more) can have a significant impact on how
you feel and function, and how well your mind and body respond to your
mental health treatment plan.
Taking steps to develop a healthier lifestyle can pay enormous
dividends by reducing stress and improving your physical health, both
of which can improve your mental health as well. Students with mental
health disorders are at a higher risk for some unhealthy behaviors.
You may find it challenging to make healthy choices and manage your
stress effectively. Here at The Spearly Center we strive to promote an
active body, and engaged mind and a fulfilled spirit throughout all
seasons of life.
