Do I need to buy a special device for light therapy for my depression?
Light
therapy is exposure to bright light and only works for seasonal
affective disorder. It only works in a few people. While doctors do
recommend special brands of light, any`high intensity fluororescent
light device will work. however, heating lamps or tanning lamps will not
do.
For
the treatment to be effective, you have to sit in front of the light
for 30-120 minutes every morning. Longer than 2 hours does not make any
difference. Results often take several weeks to appear-if you are lucky.
