I have what you might call "triple depression"--double depression plus SAD. The dysthymia is in partial remission and the recurrent major depression seems to be in full remission. I'm on a pretty serious med cocktail for the double depression, and I use a light box seasonally for the SAD--and it works very well. The trick is dedicating the time to get enough light box time every morning. This year, I have been using the light box properly for about 2 weeks and I've seen excellent improvement so far. I usually need it from about late September through early April.
