What people are saying
Look, mental health is something that we never understood.
Just live your life and be optimistic and try to push the agenda, try to push everything that you do. That's all. There is nothing else. Life is simple. You have got one life.
The important thing is, you have to first of all, have a nice diet to make sure you don't add on weight. Second, you have to exercise, lift some weights, and walk.
I think the important thing is, you must take care of your body, you must take care of yourself.
