It is not clear what you mean by "Mental Break" so it is difficult to answer your question. We, human beings, are social beings, so socializing is important. In England they have appointed, even before the pandemic, a Ministry for Loneliness that encourages people to check in with their neighbors, keep in touch with their friends, family, and neighbors, join groups, etc. You may want to google their "Tackling Loneliness Network" and join it.

My depression pills?
Hello, This is a question you need to ask your prescribing doctor. Also, you can consult a psychiatrist, a PCP, and a prescribing psychologist. In the state of Florida psychologists READ MORE
Hello, This is a question you need to ask your prescribing doctor. Also, you can consult a psychiatrist, a PCP, and a prescribing psychologist. In the state of Florida psychologists at this point are not allowed to prescribe medicines. Even in the states that allow the psychologists to prescribe medicines and give advice regarding the prescriptions, it does not mean that every psychologist in that state can prescribe or give advice about medicines. They need to get training in psychopharmacology and get certified. Whereas all PCPs and Psychiatrists can prescribe as they have a Medical Doctor degree. Follow your prescribing doctor's advice as medicines can also have side effects so you need to be careful.
