Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or \"winter blues\" affects about 2 million people in Britain. During the dark periods of autumn, winter and early spring, people start feeling tired and listless. Doctors and Psychiatrists have recognised this condition to be associated with a lack of light and an increase in the production of melatonin.
By providing summertime levels of light during the winter you can successfully alleviate the symptoms of SAD with the result that former
sufferers can lead a normal, happier life and beat the Winter Blues. In fact almost everyone can benefit from increased energy level when using a lightbox.
Symptoms:
Depression, feelings of gloom and despondency;
Lethargy, lack of energy;
Anxiety, inability to cope;
Social problems, irritability, not wanting to see people; Sleep problems, finding it hard to stay awake during the day;
Loss of libido, not interested in sex or physical contact;
Craving for carbohydrates and sweet foods.
95% of sufferers recover after only 4-12 days use of a SAD Light Box.
