I use an SSRI for long term + methods that work for me (exercise and so on), but nothing works against the winter depression. It usually comes in the middle of November. I avoided the winter depression last winter by using the light box. Then I started to use it before the winter depression had started to bloom. I became so scared when I discovered that my S.A.D.had already kicked in this year. I feel better today, because I did get up early and used the box (and went to sleep afterward
).
