In this video, I share ten practical interventions that people with mood disorders should consider implementing that involve changing your environment in some way (either your inner or outer environment). They include: medications, meditation, the arts, aromatherapy, nature, social connections, exercise, nutrition, psychotherapy, feeling gratitude, and having a purpose in life. As a person with unipolar depression who has had five episodes of major depression in his life (but none in the past sixteen years), I share my own experiences with these approaches (all of which I currently practice).
