Vivian: They are, and they have a high success rate. Some former patients have had excellent results. One was able to alleviate her insomnia by taking baths and meditating. Another was able combat laziness and fatigue by taking walks around his neighborhood every day.

Sonia: I already exercise, so that part is easy. I will continue to do that and get good rest. I can also watch my diet more carefully. I keep meaning to do that anyway, and now I have a good reason.

Vivian: Yes, I know how hard it is to talk yourself into a diet! Like I said, I think you've got the proper attitude for these things. I would also like you to increase your social support. There are many support groups that meet on a regular basis, or you could have a friend or family member spend time with you.
