There is a need to recognise the factors that can be really bad news for so many individuals with a serious mental illness. Too much excitement and unwanted changes can be harmful to a person with depression or anxiety. As can lack of sleep and inadequate nutrition. Almost as important is the abuse of alcohol. By drinking more than a moderate amount sufferers can become more vulnerable by adversely affecting mood and by interacting with their medication. The taking of drugs such as LSD and cannabis can make the difference between someone suffering with a depressive illness having the potential to make a good recovery or becoming virtually untreatable.
