Who are SAD lamps for?
People experiencing seasonal affective disorder — aka “seasonal depression” — can benefit the most from using a SAD lamp.
Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression brought on by the changing of seasons. Most people experience it during the winter months (the “winter blues,” as some folks say), but there are some who develop it during the summer.
Common symptoms of seasonal depression include:
- low energy
- fatigue
- changes in appetite or weight
- difficulty concentrating
- sleep problems
- restlessness
- anxiety
-
withdrawing from others
