Abstract
- The authors identified a patient with typical seasonal affective disorder, characterized by recurrent depression in the winter with remission in the spring or summer. Many studies reported that bright light therapy was effective in seasonal affective disorder, but the mechanism of bright light therapy and the therapeutic parameters of light therapy including intensity, duration, timing are still debated. We treated the patient with morning light treatment using 2500lux light box, the clinical symptoms in this case were improved. The authors suggest that seasonal affective disorder can be effectively treated with morning light treatment.
