Tip of the Week

- Carefully manage your sleep patterns. Get to bed and rise at set times every day.

- Get more light. Use full-spectrum light bulbs, which are brighter than our everyday lights. Keep your curtains open during the day.

- Eat plenty of complex carbohydrates such as fresh fruits and vegetables.

- Get plenty of exercise; it has been shown to be an effective antidote to bouts of depression. A daily walk outside will help.

- Get moving. Depression responds to exercise, period. Aerobic forms are best, or try some simple stretches in the morning light.
