8 Things You Can Do to Improve Your Mental Health Today

In evolutionary psychology, there's often discussion about the mismatch between our modern environment and the way our brains evolved to function. While our lives have transformed dramatically in recent years, our brains haven't kept pace with these changes.

This disconnection is particularly striking given the rise in depression and mental health issues globally.

Even as modern and wealthy countries achieve unprecedented levels of progress, it's curious that depression and mental health issues seem to be on the rise. This paradox has led psychologists, including Dr. Stephen Ilardi, to question its causes. Could it be that our modern lifestyles are misaligned with those of our ancestors?

Based on this mismatch hypothesis, Dr. Ilardi created a 6-step program to naturally treat depression. This program has shown remarkable success, with a 75.3% success rate for those who follow it for 14 weeks. If you're looking to improve your mental health, Dr. Ilardi’s approach offers a promising solution. In this video, you'll learn about Dr. Ilardi’s six steps, as well as two additional strategies that have also proven effective to improve your mental health.
