Ultimately, when it comes to your mental health, nobody can take charge of it except for you. That absolutely does not mean that you are on your own, though. It simply means that you have to decide and want to take control of your mental health and your life, it won’t happen on its own. Today at Jane L. Ades in Roslyn Heights, we’re talking about a few ways that you can take charge of your own mental health.
Consult Jane L. Ades LCSW
First thing’s first — the first step is to reach out. Once you decide to reach out to Jane L. Ades or any other mental health professional for depression therapy, you’ve taken the first step toward taking charge of your mental health. But, while this step is critical, there is more work to be done.
Make Your First Appointment Count
Once you’ve reached out, asked for help, and started your depression therapy, there’s more work to be done on your end. In many cases, clients find that they get out what they put in. This means that if you are putting in the work, listening during your depression therapy sessions, and actively trying to improve, you are much more likely to see positive results. It’s not easy work, but it is absolutely worth it.
Ask Questions
Some people feel if they ask questions they are being annoying or that they will be judged. This is 100% not the case with depression therapy at Jane L. Ades. Questions are so important because they help you gain a deeper understanding and really master the tools and information covered in sessions. We encourage you to ask as many questions as you need and will never judge you or make you feel badly about asking.
Live Well
The final method for taking control of your mental health that we’ll discuss today is living well. If you truly want to improve, get the most out of your depression therapy, and take charge of your mental health, it’s extremely important that you take care of yourself. This could be setting healthy boundaries, remembering to eat, getting some exercise, or whatever else it is you need to do to take care of yourself in a healthy way.
