Don't forget mindfulness meditation. It's really good for your mental health. It's even more promising than anti-depressants according to some studies.

I agree! Meditation is definitely good too. I wanted to create a separate list later on spiritual focused remedies I've found for mental health issues, and figured I'd include it in that one. Although meditation isn't necessarily spirituality focused, I figured it'd make more sense in that later post.

Yes mindfulness and vigorous exercise probably have the most evidence to support them along with psychotherapy like CBT (and medication obviously for more severe cases).
