In reply to Light Boxes help in non-seasonal depression?, posted by adamie on November 18, 2001, at 21:05:36
Moving from Chicago to Texas has greatly
helped my seasonal depression! I can go outside
and play golf in the winter.It is that crummy time of year where SAD
(seasonal affective disorder) kicks in. Lots
of light can definately help. I'm a really crummy
interior decorator, I live in this big empty
house. When I go to my friends well lit and
decorated home I feel less depressed (although
I'm upset that my house is so "empty"). If
I wasn't dysthymic I would probably get off my
ass and do something about this.have fun.

> hi. I will hopefully be getting a light box for christmas (cost issue). Can light boxes significantly help for non seasonal depression? I have severe depression that may have atypical features. But it is possible that it may have a seasonal depression component because I have been feeling much worse this month than last. Perhaps it's because winter is coming.
