In reply to What is Seasonal affective Disorder ?, posted by criteria on January 24, 2004, at 0:22:45
I think it's possible to develop a depression that has the seasonal features but has a cause that can be treated directly, as well as with light therapy. If it is just the light thing, a light box therapy can really help. But you should also have a thorough check of your thyroid and ask about other hormone issues. Please read up about what thyroid tests to ask for and what the results might mean, at:
