Is it still considered seasonal depression or is it another form of depression?

You need to have a minimum of 10,000 lux (or 100 footcandles) provided from the lightbox and to be received by the eyes (no eyes closed or sleeping during this). You can have this as a table mount or mounted above you with 2 ft. The Kelvin temperature (or CCT) should be at least 3000K (a more white light).. Exposure should last at least 20 min per day – after 7-10 days you should be feeling better. Keeping this schedule daily is best.

These winter months bring with them many thoughts of loneliness and inadequacy. It’s nice to know there is help out there for someone such as myself, and that I’m not alone in these dark hours.
