I tried light therapy in the past, using a head device rather than a box. Paradoxically, it actually made my depression worse! Within a few days I went from depressed to completely despairing. I don't know if that happens with many people, however. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest where it was overcast at least 2/3 of the time. Maybe my system grew to accept gloomy weather as normal and too much light trips some interior warning system or something. It's all such a mystery.
