Dealing with Depression: Use Your Time Wisely
Get outside
Experts believe sunlight is a wonderful mood-booster, especially for attention deficit adults. Alleviate your depression symptoms by spending as much of your day outdoors as possible. You might walk or bicycle to and from work, eat lunch in a park or take walks after work.
Stay busy
ADD adults may find that their mood darkens when they have nothing to do. To guard against idleness, experts recommend setting up an "interest closet" where you keep things you find interesting like a good book or a craft project. The next time you need something to do, grab an interesting project from the closet.
