Major Depressive Disorder Seasonal Affective Disorder Current Opinion in Psychiatry, January 1994 Raymond W. Lam, M.D. Contents Summary Introduction Symptoms And Diagnosis Epidemiology ... Seasonal Affective Disorder And Light Therapy References Summary Recent research on seasonal affective disorder (SAD) has refined the diagnostic criteria and highlighted the heterogeneous nature of the disorder. Recent light therapy studies show improved methodology, but some negative studies add to the controversy over non-specific (placebo) effects of light exposure. Several psychobiologic studies generated interesting data, but the pathophysiology of SAD remains elusive and unconfirmed. to top Introduction The decade since the publication of Rosenthal et al's 1984 paper [1] defining seasonal affective disorder (SAD) has seen remarkable research interest into the seasonality of mood disorders and treatment with bright light. For example, Medline has included a separate Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) for seasonal affective disorder, and over 100 articles have been indexed since-1991 alone. In the past year, publications have focused on the diagnosis, symptomatology, epidemiology, and light therapy of SAD. to top Symptoms And Diagnosis The validity of SAD as a diagnosis has received attention because of the impending publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) [2,3*]. Draft diagnostic criteria for seasonal pattern (Table 1) were revised according to empiric data and consensus in the field [4*]. SAD continues to be classified as a 'seasonal pattern' for unipolar and bipolar mood disorders, and is included as one of several 'course specifiers' of the major mood disorders (along with rapid cycling and post partum).

As the last of the leaves fall from the trees and the sun sinks lower and lower on the horizon the spirits of some sink with it; and as the days grow shorter and shorter, shorter too grows the memory of sunshine and warmth. With the New England overcast sky above, the blustery winds and the trees now barren of leaves, how difficult it is for many to keep the inner fires burning. Many become SAD. That is, many may develop Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Surely not everyone succumbs to the blahs or the blues in wintertime. The vigor, joy and pleasure of winter skiers; the surge of energy and increased appetites many people feel once the summer's heat has lifted; these surely speak to the happiness and pleasure winter brings for some.

9. Symptoms Of Clinical Depression Read about the symptoms of, and the differences between major, clinical and manic/bipolar depression and also seasonal affective disorder (SAD). http://www.learn-about-depression.com

Community Latest News What is Clinical Depression? In the normal course of life, everyone has times when they feel somewhat less than happy and optimistic. Although many people attribute their feelings of sadness or lethargy to the onset of depression, it's important to understand that medical professionals have specific indicators that they use to make a diagnosis of clinical depression. When you know more about what's wrong you can make it right. Let's start with the word "clinical." By definition, a condition is clinical if it is directly observed. That is, the professional does not count on a patient's self-report but is more likely to check for symptoms of depression that can be observed and documented. Clinical depression is a phrase used to describe a condition serious enough to require clinical (professional) and possibly pharmacological intervention. Clinical depression, according to medical sources, lasts more than two weeks and is usually not precipitated by anything external. For example, if you've just lost your job and have no money in your bank account, you may feel stressed, anxious, panicked, and unable to function. However, most of your friends and family would reasonably conclude that it's quite normal to feel that way. Although your reaction might match the symptoms of depression, a traumatic event precipitated them and your state of anxiety would not be diagnosed as clinical depression. Clearly, a new and better job would probably end the negative feelings in an instant.

In Homer, Alaska ... we live with extremes of both sunshine and darkness. Our winters provide us with a natural testing ground for using light boxes. Sunlight serves to keep our body's internal "circadian" clock in sync, so we are alert and awake in the day, and ready to sleep at night. Our health, mood and behavior can be affected when the quality and quantity of sunlight is lessened. A direct consequence can be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), winter depression, or sleep disorders. Light therapy has now been used and accepted for over 25 years. No matter where you live studies still show that light therapy boxes are the most effective treatment for SAD and SubSAD. That's why we at Alaska Northern Lights build but one light box - the North Star 10,000. We have chosen to stay with what truly works. No gimmicks or new gadgets to increase sales.
