3 EATING DISORDERS + LIGHT 3.4 Summary Research within the field of light and ED is still extremely limited. In #Figure 14, investigations in side effects, symptoms and various mental disorders has been compared and mapped. Common triggers from ED has been implemented in the overview to see where they occur in other psychiatric contexts. This was done, to get an overview of the findings, and a few connections occur as dominant in rela- tion to mental illness and light therapy. This can be used to hypothesise on how lighting design can be beneficial in the treatment process. Short summary on important overlaps in ED and positive outcome of light therapy from the discussion: Control: Common for all ED patients is the desire for control. What they eat, when and where. When they feel out of control, they can turn to self- harm. Daily rhythm: ED patients have an urge for scheduling and knowing what happens and when, hence control aspect. Sleeping is bad and ED pa- tients feel the need to stay active during night. Body temperature: Due to low BMI, ED patients have trouble staying warm, also during summer. The body uses energy and calories to stay warm. Cold surfaces and wrong materials can add to this. Sensitivity: Patients are extra sensitive to smell, touch and some have reported that glare is highly disturbing, assuming that they could also be extra sensitive to light and especially glare. Freezing: Infrared waves and the sun can help the girls getting a feeling of warmth and direct sunshine indoors. Sleep: ED patients can sleep, but some sleep shorter. If they wake up at night it can be a symptom of an experience, low body weight or rules. ED patients have a small tendency of eating their biggest meal in the evening and nocturnal behaviour. Obsessive exercise and self-harm can occur during night. AN-R shows normal Melatonin levels. Some ED pa- tients have CR phase disruption. Anxiety: Eating is a highly uncomfortable situation for ED patients, be- cause they are out of control and also have to eat, which leads to anxiety. After eating, all patients have to sit still together - this is very challeng- ing. Master thesis · MSc Lighting Design · Pernille Bech-Larsen · Fall 2017 51PDF Image | Healing with light
