Summary
"Updating and expanding upon his highly acclaimed Seasons of the Mind, Norman E. Rosenthal, director of light therapy studies at the National Institute of Mental Health, has written a veritable survivor's kit for anyone who suffers from the winter blues. The book describes the many dimensions of SAD and a variety of effective strategies: light-therapy treatment; antidepressant medications; three dietary regimens; and a self-test to help readers determine their own level of SAD. Including a comprehensive list of SAD resource centers, the book also discusses the use of light therapy for sleep disorders, jet lag, premenstrual syndrome, and shift work."--Jacket.
