Light therapy helps nonseasonal depression

Posted by Hugh on November 18, 2015, at 11:12:44

The authors of the study found the following:

-55 per cent of patients using only light therapy or only Prozac saw their depression lift;

-76 per cent of patients using both light therapy and Prozac saw their depression lift.

Dr. Raymond Lam, the study's lead author and a professor of psychiatry at the University of British Columbia, said that the trial was conducted during all seasons of the year, suggesting that light therapy could be used to treat different types of depression.

"It really does show that light can be used to treat different types of depression, not just 'winter depression'" he told CTV News.
