What can I do for my depression, anxiety, and OCD?

Question: I am already in therapy, and have been for a while, and I'm wondering what I can do on my own, at home, to help with my depression, anxiety, and OCD. What can I do to help with these things? Like eat right, exercise, etc. Is there anything else?

Answers:
There are alot of good meds out now, check with your doctor. Not all work the same for everyone so don't be discouraged. Keep trying until something works for you. : )

get away from the stress when it occurs would help, medications help too, but I prefer to try getting away from the stress. When stressing go for a walk, or meditate or listen to calming music.

anxiety is a type of ocd and u should see a syc about it

I also have this ocd with anxiety but i am not taking any medication i do meditation its good way to erase those ocd and anxiety actually its all caused by our subconscious mind which takes the message wrongly.so by way of doing meditation and yoga if you like you can take controll of it and also you can completly get rid of this once for all and also you have to note this two wont have side affects like medications.
