Treatment With Light

Bright light is highly effective in treating Seasonal Affective Disorder. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, "Treatment [for SAD] with bright environmental light is generally a first-line therapeutic approach."13 Four out of five people with seasonal difficulties (either SAD or S-SAD) should expect to benefit from bright light treatment.14 "Several qualitative review of the literature...have concluded that light therapy, administered by fluorescent light boxes...is an effective treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder, with response rates of 60% to 90%."

According to Norman Rosenthal, former Chief of Clinical Psychobiology at the National Institute of Mental Health, "The most effective, practical, and best-studied way of enhancing your environmental light is by means of a special light fixture or light box, the most commonly used method for administering light therapy.16 Other treatments that may be helpful include changes in diet and exercise, stress management, sleep restriction, psychotherapy, and antidepressant medications.
