I think a good strategy toward better health is to frequently communicate with your medical professionals. They can't be with you all the time, so you'll have to keep them apprised of how you are doing. Tell them if medications work or don't work. Feel a strange side effect? Let them know. Don't feel any side effects? Let them know. Often, you'll have to go trough a period of trial and error in order to get the right medications at the right dosages.
I suggest keeping a journal. Keep track of all of your moods, good and bad. Then track things like the weather, planetary alignment, even what you eat, if you think it will help. You might find certain patterns emerging. You don't have to show your journal to anyone, unless you're comfortable doing so.
Go ahead and talk to your medical professionals about other things that could aggravate your symptoms like the weather and holidays. The holidays cause stress for many people, and this is the time of year that often people can experience Seasonal affective disorder.
Please ask your medical professionals to help you create a plan for better health that includes proper medical attention and lifestyle improvements.
