Recent studies have found optimism helps to keep yourself healthy. Optimistic people are more likely to follow medical advice and take better care of themselves.
Deepa Sharma, Family Medicine Physician at Baptist Health Primary Care, says having an outlook that will encourage you to comply with treatments or encourage you to feel like you want to feel better is the best way to come out of an illness.
It is important to be optimistic, because you could maintain strong social support networks.
