Reflections From A Chair

Stephen Ilardi, associate professor of clinical psychology at the University of Kansas has a new research program on depression, he calls it TLC. The Daily Kansan reports about in its article Professor develops six-step program to cure depression.
Professor Ilardi says that his research recommends six points.
They are:

• exercise,
• omega 3 fatty acids,
• sunlight exposure,
• anti-rumination strategies,
• social support
• and sleep hygiene.

It is his contention that modern, urban lifestyles deprive us of these six simple factors. One of the results is a higher rate of depression.
