Sleep Deprivation for depression

Posted by Jimmyboy on August 8, 2006, at 11:31:38


Has anyone found this effective to help with their depression?

I have BP II- so I know this could not be such a good idea b/c it could cause a swith into mania/hypomania.. but I would say that I spend 99% of the time in a depressed mood and only twice had above normal mood elevations in my whole life, so I am not to worried about that.

But if this has worked for anyone, I would really like to hear about it...

here are a couple of interesting links.

1. "Sustained antidepressant effect of sleep deprivation combined with pindolol in bipolar depression. A placebo-controlled trial."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=10088139&query_hl=24


2. "Therapeutic use of sleep deprivation in depression."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12531127&query_hl=28

PS - sorry caan't figure out how to make a link .. but I guess you could copy/paste if you would like to check these out..
