It is only through research that we can understand what causes the disease, develop effective treatments, improve care and hopefully one day find a cure.

There are two main types of positive action you can take for mental health: short-term and long-term. Understanding the difference can help you decide which actions to concentrate on, depending on the challenges you face.

Short-term actions are quick. You could think of them as ‘easy wins’ for a quick boost when you need help. Some examples include:

-Grounding exercises when you feel anxious
-Deep breathing when you feel stressed
-Stretching if your shoulders feel tense
-Listening to a guided meditation
-Putting on an upbeat song to lift your mood

These actions can be done in the moment to provide quick relief from unpleasant feelings.

Long-term actions are carried out consistently over time to enhance your everyday wellbeing. Examples of long-term actions for wellbeing include:

-Eating a healthy diet
-Regularly exercising
-Starting a daily mindfulness practice
-Attending a weekly yoga class
-Maintaining a good sleep routine

Consistency is key when creating long-term mental health habits. You may not notice instant benefits as you would with short-term actions, but over time, they can bring lasting improvements.
