My p-doc (who has a fair amount of experience treating people with S.A.D.) told me that recent studies indicate that full spectrum light therapy appears to help only 30% of those who use it.
But because it is risk free I am trying it. At the very least, the light produces a nice placebo affect,
by relaxing my mood as I start out my day. The benefit of that is not to be underestimated!I have heard by word of mouth that a recent study drew a parallel between vitamin D consumption and seasonal affective disorder. Does anyone have info. about this (references or URLs would be helpful).
Best,
Leor
