My suggestions to patients include ...

• Practise self-compassion: what would you tell your best friend if he or she were in your shoes?

• Set aside 1 minute every day to think of and be grateful for something good that happened that day.

• Move your body enough so that it gets sweaty for at least 150 minutes every week.

• Spend less time with any device that transmits information that you find upsetting or distressing; spend more time in nature or with people you care about.
