3. Keeping a Detailed Diary
Keeping a detailed diary is common advice for people who struggle with depression, insomnia, anxiety and a variety of different stress conditions and there are several different reasons for this. First, it can help people to observe their condition much more closely, and at the same time it can also help medical professionals to see the condition at a glance – and this can make the condition a lot easier to treat.
If you find yourself experiencing frequent bouts of phobia, panic attacks or any depressive or anxiety-related health condition, start keeping detailed notes – and be sure to write down details like the time and what you were doing at the time. All of this might seem pointless at the moment, but all of it can be useful when looking back at it a few minutes, hours or days (and sometimes even months) after the condition.
Remember this diary when consulting with your doctor.
