What is Light Therapy (SAD)?

Light therapy or phototherapy consists of exposure to specific wavelengths of light using lasers, LEDs, fluorescent lamps, dichroic lamps or very bright, full-spectrum light, for a prescribed amount of time. It has proven effective in treating Acne vulgaris, seasonal affective disorder, and for some people it has ameliorated delayed sleep phase syndrome. It has recently been shown effective in non-seasonal depression. Proponents claim demonstrable benefits for skin conditions such as psoriasis and, more controversially, a degree of "skin rejuvenation."

Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, also known as winter depression is an affective, or mood, disorder. Most SAD sufferers experience normal mental health throughout most of the year, but experience depressive symptoms in the winter or summer.

Light Fantastic - Then SAD
As well as the depressed mood, seasonal affective disorder often brings a loss of interest or pleasure in everyday activities that are normally satisfying, such reading a good book or listening to music.

Do It Yourself S.A.D - Management Using Complementary Therapy
Why is it that some of us start to feel 'down' when the end of September comes around?  When dark nights start at tea-time and we feel we want to hibernate.

What is Light Therapy?
SAD stems from the lack of bright light in winter. Logically enough light therapy is successful as a treatment because it boosts the supply of bright light.

Bioptron Light Therapy
Bioptron Light Therapy is a medical light therapy system with full EU medical approval. It is used with success in various hospitals and clinics throughout the world for healing.

Light Therapy and Seasonal Affective Disorder
Caused by a lack of bright light, Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD is a "type of winter depression" which is thought to affect millions of people each winter between the months of September and March.
