In the calm master class ‘rethinking depression’, Dr Steve Ilardi identifies 6 key areas to creating an anti-depressant lifestyle. These are:

• Movement is Medicine – Exercise
• Light exposure
• Brain food
• Human connection
• Ending Rumination
• Sleep

Most of us will already know some of these factors but by diving deeper into the practicalities of why they are important and how to implement them will give us a better foundation to create this new life.

For some people exercise will be key, others it will be sleep, nevertheless it is important to practice all of these elements to keep yourself immune from developing depression.
