Research Notes on Lighting for Seasonal Affective Disorder
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression attributed to lack of exposure to sunlight due to long winter nights. Treatment for this disorder may include increased exposure to artificial lighting such as a light box and modified lamps and light bulbs to simulate natural sunlight. The Food and Drug Administration has not approved the use of light therapy for SAD. Consult a physician or a mental health provider for proper advice on using light therapy for SAD.
