               Along               with               the               walking               phase               the               mental               health               professional               will               suggest               nutritional               supplements               which               involve               the               addition               of               omega               3               (Curtis               &               Patel,               2008;Freeman,               et               al,               2006;               Jacka               &               Berk,               2007),               omega               6               and               omega               9               (Curtis               &               Patel,               2008),               zinc               (Curtis               &               Patel,               2008;               Harvard               Health               Publications,               2009),               iron,               magnesium               (Curtis               &               Patel,               2008;               Harvard               Health               Publications,               2009),               vitamin               B               complex               (Curtis               &               Patel,               2008;               Harvard               Health               Publications,               2009),               Selenium               (Harvard               Health               Publications,               2009)               vitamin               D               (Harvard               Health               Publications,               2009;               Schoo,               2008)               vitamin               E               (Harvard               Health               Publications,               2009;               Jacka               &               Berk,               2007)               and               folate               (Quinn,               2009).

Although               a               healthy               diet               will               also               be               implemented,               it               is               essential               to               give               the               client               the               best               opportunity               to               begin               to               gain               the               benefits               of               nutrition               immediately               and               on               a               consistent               basis.
               During               the               walking/supplementation               phase               the               client               will               keep               an               eating               journal.

Once               the               healthy               diet               phase               begins               the               mental               health               professional               will               use               the               eating               journal               to               identify               those               factors               within               the               diet               that               need               to               be               changed.

It               is               important               that               the               changes               be               made               gradually               and               at               a               pace               that               does               not               induce               feelings               of               deprivation               on               the               client's               part.

The               goal               for               this               phase               is               to               move               toward               a               time               when               the               client               includes               more               vegetables,               fruits,               and               lean               meats               than               unhealthy               foods.

In               order               to               educate               the               client               without               taking               up               important               time               during               sessions               the               mental               health               professional               should               have               a               good               amount               of               written               information               as               well               as               online               resources               to               assist               the               client.
               At               the               same               time               the               exercise               and               nutrition               phases               are               implemented               a               portion               of               the               time               spent               during               sessions               will               be               spent               assessing               the               client's               physical               symptoms               as               well               as               the               client's               cognitive               and               emotional               reactions               to               the               changes               they               are               making               in               their               lives.

Further               the               mental               health               professional               will               ask               the               client               to               identify               those               cognitive,               social               and               environmental               factors               which               may               be               discouraging               those               changes.

The               remainder               of               the               session               will               consist               of               an               ongoing               assessment               of               the               client's               personal               skills,               abilities               and               attitudes               in               order               to               identify               areas               which               may               need               to               be               made               addressed               as               the               intervention               progresses.

This               assessment               will               include               but               not               be               limited               to               the               changes               being               made               in               the               areas               of               nutrition               and               exercise               and               must               also               address               the               mental               health               concerns               which               caused               the               client               to               initially               seek               mental               health               services.
