Keep a mood chart for mental wellness

Keeping a mood chart can help you track day-to-day changes in your emotions and behavior in relation to your medication regime, your lifestyle and the stressors in your life. It can help you identify when you might need an adjustment in medication, recognize what activities lift your moods, reveal a pattern of sleep problems and alert you to issues you might want to discuss with your doctor or therapist.

You can create a mood chart that works for you, using this one as a guide.
