With the official end of summer right around the corner, experts are urging listeners to prioritize their mental health as fall approaches.
The fall & winter months can be tough, with shorter days, colder temperatures, and increased isolation taking a toll on mental well-being.
To combat the blues, health experts recommend regular exercise, a healthy diet, and consistent sleep patterns. They also suggest staying connected with friends and family, either in person or virtually, and practicing mindfulness and meditation.
Additionally, techniques like journaling and relaxation exercises can be helpful in managing mental health.
