Firstly, there is no need to destroy the health that we have. Here we are talking about harmful habits that lead to the destruction of the body and the psyche, including. These are smoking, alcohol abuse, use of other psychoactive substances, abuse of stimulant products (coffee, strong tea, energy drinks).

The second is the restoration of a full, high–quality sleep. Even one night without sleep causes daytime drowsiness, increased irritability, decreased concentration of attention. With a lack of sleep, the exchange of mediators in the brain, including serotonin, is disrupted. This substance affects the mood, gives calmness. Lack of serotonin during sleep deprivation can lead to depression. Sleep deprivation increases the risk of chronic fatigue syndrome and professional burnout, which are already characteristic of people living under constant stress. They say that "nerve cells are restored in a dream."

The third is adequate physical activity. Strength exercise increases the level of stimulating hormones. But if you abuse heavy exercises or constantly work hard, and do not know how to rest, then a neurotic state can form. That's why any sports activity should end with relaxing exercises.

Proper nutrition is one of the most important ways to maintain mental health. This is especially important for a growing organism. Paradoxically, in our time of food availability, a huge number of adolescents have metabolic disorders of vitamins, lack of trace elements and important amino acids in the body. This is due to the peculiarities of nutrition (fast food, eating a lot of sweet foods, soy products, lack of vegetables and fruits in the diet). Without natural products, the child's brain does not develop fully, children quickly get tired, irritated, and neurotic personality development is formed.
