Light Therapy
Research has shown that not only is depression linked to sleep, but for those of us that struggle with our circadian rhythm, light therapy could prove beneficial. Especially for those working overnight or people who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, exposure to bright light, even artificial, can help stave off the symptoms of depression and improve mental wellness.

If you or a loved are struggling with disordered eating, this book can be a great place to start. It includes Schaefer’s therapist’s actual recommendations on how to start separating the eating disorder from the person, thereby gaining control over the E.D. and start changing behaviors.
