Both my depression and my post-concussive symptoms improved DRAMATICALLY after the ten-day residential program. They only run it a few times a year, so it can be hard to get into it. The basic cost when I did it was around $5000, but it may have changed since then so be sure to call and ask about current pricing.

Dr. Nedley also has a lot of self-study materials available on his website. There is a book Depression: The Way Out and also a DVD series that contain most of the material covered in the ten-day program. Of course, you will miss out on the "boot camp" effect that you get from being there but it can at least help you get started with a lot of the natural principles at home.

If you are having trouble staying asleep, you could try some light therapy to reset your circadian rhythm. Go outside into daylight for at least 20 minutes between 5-7 AM and again between 2-4 PM every day. That should help you feel sleepy around 9 PM and can help prevent early waking (it won't help if you have sleep apnea or something else waking you up, though).

Also, you might have your blood levels of vitamin D and calcium checked. The brain needs both of those present in order to produce melatonin throughout the night to keep you asleep. If you are deficient in either, it can impact your sleep.

A physiatrist is a specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. You can find one in your area here: http://www.aapmr.org/patients/findph...s/default.aspx

This listing doesn't seem to be exhaustive, though; my doctor isn't listed there. So there might be others near you. You could also ask your primary doctor for a referral.

Hope this helps! Good luck.
