SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT... • In a study of people receiving treatment in a mental health facility, more than 80% used religious beliefs or activities to cope with daily difficulties or frustrations; 65% reported that religion helped them to cope with symptom severity, and 30% indicated that religion gave them purpose to keep living. (MentalHealthAmerica.net) • Live a healthy lifestyle-may not be easy but can be achieved by gradually making small changes and building on those successes. • Keep physically and mentally healthy. Find a reason to laugh, walk with a friend, meditate, play with a pet.
