Even though it seems silly, making sure you're actually exercising, getting good sleep, and eating well should be the first step on the road to improving your mental health every time.

It's basically the "have you tried turning it off and on again?" of therapy.

For me it seems to be the other way around. I never exercised because I didn't feel well. Once I got a grip on my mental issues, I started being more physically active, because it was easier. Mind the difference between cause and consequence!
