Application of behavioral lifestyle intervention in prevention and treatment of emotional disorders
"Behavior determines health"is the theoretical and practical basis of behavioral medi-cine.Maladpative lifestyle is not only an important risk factor for many non-communicable diseases,but also an important influencing factor for recurrence and prognosis of emotional disorders.More and more meta-ana-lyses have confirmed the role of behavioral lifestyle in the treatment and prevention of emotional disorders such as depression.Some authoritative treatment guidelines now recommend lifestyle changes as one of the firstline treatment recommendations and given some specific modalities in detail.There is relatively less evi-dence for treatment of anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder,but there are several well-designed and high-quality studies that confirm the therapeutic and preventive role of lifestyles,particularly circadian rhythms,life regurality and exercises,as part of routine management measures for maintaining stable mood and allevia-ting anxiety symptoms.
