Positive Psychiatry and Healthy Lifestyle Interventions Augmenting Psychotherapy for Mood Disorders.

Abstract

Healthy lifestyle and positive psychiatry interventions can complement the treatment of mood disorders and help individuals who are not experiencing as much happiness and satisfaction in their lives as they desire. This article gives examples of an optimal psychiatric treatment plan that would potentially include psychotherapy, psychotropic medications, and/or individualized and targeted healthy lifestyle and positive psychiatry interventions to not only treat mental illness, but also enhance overall wellbeing.
