Rules For Mental

Health

The Rappahannock News has just received its autumn copy of “Mental Health’', published by the Board of the Department of Mental Hygiene and Hospitals of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Following are nine mental health rules recommended by Dr. Joseph Fetterman:

1. Have A Hobby—Acquire pursuits which absorb your interest. Sports and nature are best.

2. Develop A Philosophy—Adapt yourself to social and spiritual surroundings.

3. Share Your Thoughts—Cultivate companionship in thought and feeling. Confide, confess, consult. 1

4. Face Your Fears—Analyze them; daylight dismisses ghosts.

5. Balance Fantasy With Facts —Dream, but also do; wish but build; imagine but ever face reality.

6. Beware Alluring Escapees— Alcohol, opiates and barbitals may prove faithless friends.

7. Exercise—Walk; golf; muscles need activity.

8. Don’t Become Eirgulfed In A Whirlpool Of Worries—Call early for help. The doctor is ready for your rescue.

9. Trust In Time—Be patient and hopeful; time is a great therapist.
