Has anyone with seasonal depression tried the uv lights in the winter? I've read that they can help, but want to know if they work before I buy any.
Thanks, Alex |

I have MDD that is worsened by SAD. Honestly, it's a little difficult to say because of the MDD, but I feel like the uv light I have does help. It's not that expensive to get one, so I might say that it's a pretty good investment.
 good luck!

On the suspicion I may have had SAD along with MDD, I used a light box for about 4-6 months. I did not experience any noticeable benefit. I have heard stories about those this treatment has helped.
