Depression has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and across nearly all industrialized nations. With 15% of all depressed individuals surrendering to suicide every year, and a lack of coordinated treatments, it is time to step up to the plate against this menacing illness.

I suffer from major depression and was given a sun lamp for light therapy. Does anybody have any experience with them? Were you helped? When is the best time to use them? Can you go to sleep with it on? Thanks

Have you (as a person or a mental health professional for a client) ever tried light therapy for depression?

Did it work? What product did you use (brand and model if possible)? I’m going through major depression (on medication and seeing a therapist) and I just came across these full spectrum lamps that are believed to help alleviate SAD (Seasonal Affective Depression) symptoms. I’m wondering if these would help me even if I’m not suffering from SAD (I think my depression was a result of an extended highly-stressful period in my life and it could also be partially genetic since other family members have experienced / are experiencing it (two sisters.) Do you think that this light therapy device (Apollo Health GoLite P1 Blue Spectrum Light Therapy Device) is the best in the market since it’s one of the most expensive (if not the most expensive) out threre?
