syndrome showed that exposure to bright light therapy improved symptoms of night eating behaviors (Friedman, Even, Dardennes, & Guelfi, 2002). In this case, after receiving 14 daily morning 30-minute sessions of l0,000-lux white light therapy, night eating symptoms were reportedly absent. One month after the completion of light therapy, however, all previous symptoms of NES had returned. An additional 12 morning sessions were administered, which again reportedly resolved all symptoms of NES (Friedman et al., 2002). The second case study involved a non-obese 46-year old man meeting DSM-IV criteria for a major depressive episode and NES (Friedman, Even, Dardeness, & Guelfi, 2004). After receiving 14 daily morning 30-minute sessions of 10,000-lux light therapy, this individual no longer met criteria for depression or NES. Because light therapy for the treatment of NES has only been described in case studies, more research is necessary to demonstrate its efficacy. Summary of Treatment for NES Very few treatments exist for NES, and persons seeking treatment for NES often find it very difficult to find a treatment professional that can address their problems. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for a person with NES to be dismissed by a health care provider (Allison et al., 2004). There are a handful of studies that show promising results for the use of topiramate and sertraline for the treatment of NES; however, more research is needed in order to demonstrate efficacy. To date only one uncontrolled study examines how effective CBT is in the treatment of NES (Allison et al., 2010). Although this study yielded promising results in the reduction of symptoms of NES, more research is needed in order to advance the treatment of NES. Although NES is conceptualized as a disorder of circadian delayed food intake, few studies have targeted circadian rhythm per se, which is an important weakness in the treatment literature.
