hi. my dad has slipped back into a depression. he has always had it on and off since being a child and had counseling whilst growing up. he has tried anti depressants but they didn’t agree with his body so the doc took him off them many years ago. he always starts to feel down around this time of year, when the days start to get shorter, with less day light. but lately all we have heard is bad news and its the 10 years anniversary of his mothers death – who he was so close to. all this is adding up and putting him into a very deep depression. i was talking to him last night and he broke down crying again saying that he is frightened because he cant see any way out. everything is crushing him. he cant stop crying. he keeps picturing his children dying, or him dying and having to say goodbye to his children. i have tried my best to comfort him. but its not helping.
has anyone out there tried light therapy? and is it true that for it to work you need to spend at least £300 on the light?
he has just started trying a herbal anti depressant, has anyone else tried these? did they work?
and has anyone ever tried acupuncture or hypnotism for depression?
or is there something else that might work?
he exercises regularly, but his knee has given way on him, so he cant run as much as he usually does – this is also making him down.
my mum keeps trying to give him things to do but he just breaks down crying whilst doing them, and so usually needs to stop.
i am desperate for your help. thank you so much for reading my question.

i am sorry but can i just say that, joe, what you just said is so wrong. you have obviously never suffered with depression.
depression is in no way selfish or an ego trip, it is an illness. a very horrible illness that takes over your mind and body. when you have depression you cant tell your brain how to think – no one would have depression if that was the case. it takes over and slowly eats you alive. i hope you never have to deal with this.
it is so sad for the person who has it and for all the people who have to watch their loved one in so much pain, when there is nothing you can do.
sorry, but had to be said x
Karl Deisseroth is pioneering bold new treatments for depression and other psychiatric diseases. By sending pulses of light into the brain, Deisseroth can control neural activity with remarkable precision. In this short talk, Deisseroth gives an thoughtful and awe-inspiring overview of his Stanford University lab’s groundbreaking research in “optogenetics”.

Has anyone ever used light therapy for depression? Some say it won’t work unless it is seasonal depression, but it looks like the same factors in your brain would be involved either way. I know that there’s specific (expensive) light boxes I can buy, but I’m wondering if going to a tanning bed every 2-3 days might help. I’ve read that tanning beds are not recommended for this, but the medical field would never promote tanning beds anyway because it isn’t good for your skin.
I was just wondering if anyone had any personal experience with either a light box or using a tanning bed for therapy?
