I have bp I, but despite doing well on my meds I often get depressed in the winter. My doc recommended light therapy. I've been doing it for a couple years now--30 min. a day & I haven't fallen into a winter depression. I got it online through a web site called Northern Lights, I think. It ran about $200.00.

BUT a friend of mine with bp I tried it & it sent her into a mania so I'd be careful if you are bp.

I'm originally from Calif. & now live in Indiana where blue skies & sunshine aren't as prevelant. I could tell a big difference in my mood since moving here due to the gray skies.--Suzy
