Abstract:

Much the most common type of seasonal affective disorder at temperate latitudes is recurrent winter depression, which probably affects around 3% of adults in the UK to a clinically significant degree. In this article, diagnosis and presentation are discussed and symptoms are contrasted with those of non-seasonal depression. Aetiology and epidemiology, with regard to age, gender and latitude of residence, are described. Sufferers are often treated with light therapy, and this is described in some detail, with mention of effectiveness, prediction of outcome, timescales of response, side-effects,

Abstract:

SynopsisIn patients with winter seasonal affective disorder (SAD) the onset of a depressive episode is probably associated with the decreasing amount of light during the autumn. A highly predictable onset of a recurrent depressive episode with seasonal pattern provides a rationale for testing the efficacy of bright-light treatment as a preventive measure. Twelve out-patients with winter SAD were assigned to start bright light treatment either when they were well, or not to start it until the first symptoms of depression had already emerged. The severity of depressive symptoms was prospectively

Abstract:

The present explosive growth of interest in the therapeutic possibilities of exposure to light was triggered by a patient, Herbert Kern. He suffered from episodic depressive and manic complaints and discovered, by registering these over the years, a seasonal pattern in their occurrence. Discussions with scientists of the NIMH resulted in his participation in a bright light-treatment experiment when he was depressed in the winter of 1980-1981. He recovered.Next, the same group of investigators defined the criteria for a new syndrome, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): a history of major affecti

Abstract:

Seasonal affective disorder or SAD is a recurrent major depressive disorder with a seasonal pattern usually beginning in fall and continuing into winter months. A subsyndromal type of SAD, or S-SAD, is commonly known as “winter blues.” Less often, SAD causes depression in the spring or early summer. Symptoms center on sad mood and low energy. Those most at risk are female, are younger, live far from the equator, and have family histories of depression, bipolar disorder, or SAD. Screening instruments include the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ). Typical treatment includes antide

Abstract:

AbstractThe operational criteria for seasonal affective disorder (SAD) have undergone several changes since first proposed in 1984. SAD is currently included as a specifier of either bipolar or recurrent major depressive disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition has provisional diagnostic criteria for SAD. The most characteristic quality of SAD is that the symptoms usually present during winter and remit in the spring. Furthermore, the symptoms tend to remit when the patients are exposed to

BackgroundThe suppression of melatonin by light at 00.30 hours has been shown to be greater in winter than in summer in patients with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) but not in matched normal controls.MethodIn this study 12 patients with SAD and 12 matched normal controls were exposed to morning light therapy in the winter. Melatonin profiles and sensitivity to light were measured before and after treatment.ResultsThe SAD but not the normal group showed a phase advance of melatonin rhythms in response to phototherapy. There was an association between phase position and phase shift in the SAD

Abstract:

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is characterised by recurrent episodes in autumn and winter of depression, hypersomnia, augmented appetite with carbohydrate craving, and weight gain, and can be successfully treated with bright light. Circadian rhythm hypotheses (summarized in) have stimulated research into the pathophysiology of SAD, postulating that:1.The illness is a consequence of delayed phase position,2.It is correlated with diminished circadian amplitude, or3.It results from changes in the nocturnal duration between dusk and dawn e.g. of low core body temperature or melatonin secretion

SUMMARYAim – Since the importance of latitude of living for the prevalence of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is unclear, the study aims to test the latitude hypothesis by comparing SAD in two rather similar groups of students living at latitudes far apart. Methods – Two groups of students, 199 in Tromsø, Norway (690 N) and 188 in Ferrara, Italy (440 N) were asked to fill in the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire. Results – Global Seasonality score (GS-score) was significantly higher in Italian than in Norwegian students, in females and in students with sleeping-problems. Norwegian st

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is characterized by annual recurrence of clinical depression in the fall and winter months. The importance of SAD as a public health problem is underscored by its high prevalence (an estimated 5%) and by the large amount of time individuals with SAD are impaired (on average, 5 months each year). The specific cause of SAD remains unknown; however, researchers have identified possible chronobiological and psychological vulnerabilities to SAD. The study aimed to clarify psychological and chronobiological correlates of SAD in the first test of an integrat

Abstract:

Traditional psychology has held the view that mentally healthy people have a good grasp of reality. However, studies on self-concept, perceived control and optimism have shown that mentally healthy people have a tendency to distort reality in these areas in a positive, self-serving direction. These studies led Shelley Taylor to coin the term "positive illusions" to describe overly positive self-evaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control, and unrealistic optimism. Taylor also theorized that those who were depressed had fewer positive illusions than those who were not depressed. The current

Abstract:

The changes of the seasons are a phenomenon we as people in many cases are affected by multiple times a year. However, how much this change affects us differs from where in the world you live. In the northern hemisphere, life can change drastically when the sun goes from shining the majority of the day to the day being mostly in darkness during wintertime. Most people are affected by this change somehow, especially the change from brighter days to darker. This is when feelings of community, hopefulness and happiness can be switched out with feelings of loneliness, malaise and even depression.

Abstract:

Many of us can relate to being tired and maybe even feel down during the winter months. Reports show that we spend more and more time indoors and with that, problems linked to low daylight exposure increases. The main recommendation from doctors is to try to spend more time outdoors to really get that dosage of the sun that one needs. Research also shows that people are not aware of the actual amount of time they spend either indoors or in their cars. With this in mind, what could we do to create a healthier way of living? In this project, I have chosen to explore how we can motivate and ins

Abstract:

Phototherapy or artificial bright-light treatment, has been used in the management of a number of medical disorders including psoriasis and hyperbilirubinaemia of the newborn. From the point of view of psychiatric treatment, the notion that light might help people with certain psychological symptoms has an ancient lineage. For example, Wehr and Rosenthal cite Aretaeus who suggested in the second century ad that ‘lethargics are to be laid in the light and exposed to the rays of the sun (for the disease is gloom)’. In 1898, a ship's physician named Frederick Cook recorded that the ‘languor’ which affected members of an Antarctic expedition during the winter darkness could be relieved with bright artificial light. The first systematic study of phototherapy as a psychiatric treatment was carried out in 1984 by Rosenthal et al. who used bright artificial light to treat patients with the newly identified syndrome of seasonal affective disorder. Seasonal affective disorder is a recurrent mood disorder in which patients experience regular episodes of depression in autumn and winter with remission in spring and summer. Since then phototherapy has become the mainstay of the treatment of seasonal affective disorder, particularly in patients with atypical depressive features such as hyperphagia and hypersomnia. Phototherapy has also been used as an investigational treatment in other psychiatric disorders but the evidence for its efficacy in these conditions less established.
