[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. Can anyone else weigh in on diet and supplements? Personally don't drink and have increased exercise. Prob need to work on reducing caffeine and sleeping more. However, coffee is actually a bright spot in my day that I enjoy. I just wonder if it negatively affects mood regulation in the long run, somewhat similar to alcohol.[/quote] I think the caffeine question depends a LOT on the person -- people's reactions to caffeine vary widely, and there's a genetic componant to it. If it's working for you, I wouldn't change it. But regular sleep is really important for everyone. There are studies indicating that omega-3s help with mood regulation, so it was something that our psychiatrist, who is usually not a big fan of the alternative medicines, did recommend. There's also some good evidence that the special lights help a lot of people, particularly in the winter. [/quote]
