3. Encourage positive lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet, plenty of sleep, and getting out in the sun or into nature for at least 30 minutes each day.
4. Exercise is also extremely important as it releases endorphins, relieves stress, and promotes emotional well-being.

2.Have a positive mindset always.
3.Avoid negative people who are around.
4.Whatever problem you get, share it with near ones because sharing decreases your mental pressure.
5.Don’t do the things which are very difficult to complete because if we aren’t able to complete it can lead to depression.

7.Don’t invest your money where you don’t have any guarantee.
8.Avoid alcohol and drugs.
