Light therapy is a standard
treatment for seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Consult your
doctor to make sure you're using it effectively and that you
understand the potential benefits and drawbacks.
Light therapy, also called bright light therapy or phototherapy,
has been used to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) since
the early 1980s. Many mental health professionals now consider
light therapy to be standard treatment for seasonal affective
disorder. During the low-light months of fall and winter, people
with seasonal affective disorder produce more melatonin than
normal - enough to cause potentially debilitating symptoms of
depression. But exposure to bright light, such as that from a
light box, can suppress the brain's production of melatonin,
helping regulate your body's internal clock and reducing
symptoms.
