[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 650150, member: 11791"] Focus on baby steps. Praise or acknowledge each positive step - like bringing in the garbage cans, or making his own lunch. Work toward a regular time to get up in the morning. Doesn't need to be "7 a.m." - he may not be an early bird. Even if its 11 a.m., if it is that time every day, it is a good thing. Once he can hold a pattern, he can start moving it to a little earlier. Regular time to get up helps create a regular time to get to sleep. Healthy sleep habits are important in fighting depression. Require spending some time out of the house every day - even if it's 15 minutes of walking the dog or cleaning up outside the house or even just sitting in the sun. Sunshine is important in fighting depression. It's a long road. [/QUOTE]
