“Mood reflects the biology of the brain. How you feel is affected by the chemicals in the brain, and these are the same chemicals that form the basis of mood-altering drugs. You may use yoga, meditation, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) or exercise to alter your mood, or revert to healthy eating, regular exercise and getting enough sleep.” FeelsMayEnoughUseFormSleepBrainMeditationExerciseHealthyDrugEatingYogaBasesMoodTherapyBiologyAffectedChemicalsBehaviourHow You FeelCognitiveHealthy EatingYoga MeditationEnough SleepRegular Exercise Author:Liz Miller

“I've never had a sustained period of medication for mental illness when I've not been on other drugs as well. It's just not something that I particularly feel I need. I know that I have dramatically changing moods, and I know sometimes I feel really depressed, but I think that's just life. I don't think of it as, "Ah, this is mental illness," more as, "Today, life makes me feel very sad." I know I also get unnaturally high levels of energy and quickness of thought, but I'm able to utilize that.” ThinkingKnowsNeedsFeelsWellsSometimesTodayAbleEnergyLevelsPeriodsDrugIllnessMoodMental IllnessMedicationHigh LevelVery SadQuicknessToday Life Author:Russell Brand
