Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 I have heard that patients who suffer from SAD can gain benefit from light therapy and exersize. Try putting natural spectrum light bulbs in the house in winter (actually good year round if you can afford them). An exersize, exersize, exersize. If you think about it, you are not only out in the light more during the spring and summer, but you are also more ACTIVE. There are several sights that deal with SAD if you check.

I get sick sick sick and depressed a LOT. I don't think it's due to stale air in our house (our windows are so bad you can feel a breeze in here at any given time) so it must be the lack of sun.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 That's true, I do sit on my duff more in the Winter. Some one suggested going to a tanning booth once a week, said that helps a lot but I'd rather not get skin cancer or sit in other peoples sweat!
