How To Achieve Mental Wellness Beyond Just Therapy And Meds

Get a Little Help From Your Friends

When an individual is sad, they are typically not going to feel like socializing. However, when feeling depressed it is important to try and refocus one's energy on positive things by getting out of the house. Those who have social connections - whether they are new or old - experience a boost in their mood by socializing with others. Because humans strive for relationships and meaning with other people, a new friend can instantly bring joy, laughter, thoughtfulness, compassion, and connection to the life of an otherwise depressed individual.
