When days get shorter and colder, do you get gloomier? Do you have trouble waking up? Controlling your diet? Focusing on work and relationships? If so, you may be one of the millions of people who suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD): changes in mood and behavior due to seasonal changes, such as feeling depressed in winter. Rosenthal, senior researcher at the National Institutes of Health and clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University, led the team that first described SAD. Now in his revised and updated Winter Blues, he describes SAD and how to overcome it. The book includes a self-diagnosis to see how severely seasonal changes affect you (or your child).

Rosenthal, author of St. John's Wort: The Herbal Way to Feeling Good, brings SAD to life with profiles of seasonal-slump sufferers. All of these people experienced dramatic improvement with light therapy--exposure to a special light box for 30 to 90 minutes a day. Winter Blues tells you everything you need to know about light boxes and other treatments, such as psychotherapy, antidepressant medications, herbs, vitamins, and the role of diet and exercise. Rosenthal includes many helpful extras, such as tips for dealing with the holidays and a sample letter requesting insurance reimbursement for a light box. -- Joan Price

Book Description
Completely updating and expanding his immensely popular guide, Norman E. Rosenthal has written a veritable survival kit for anyone who suffers from the winter blues. This authoritative and engaging book presents the very latest information on the many dimensions of SAD, including the newly recognized distinctions between various degrees of the disorder, from "winter blues" to full-blown SAD. The book features revised chapters on antidepressant medications and light therapy, a new chapter on coping with SAD all year round, details on St. John's wort and on a helpful nutritional regimen, a self-test to help readers evaluate their own level of SAD, and a list of SAD resources. Also discussed is the use of light therapy in treating problems whose symptoms mirror those of SAD, including jet lag, sleep disorders, premenstrual syndrome, and the effects of shift work. A concluding chapter illustrates how those with SAD can enjoy even the darkest of seasons. (Back to Title)

Book Description
Seasonal affective disorder(SAD), or winter depression, is a mood disorder related to the change in the seasons and lack of exposure to daylight. It affects 1 in 100 adults in western countries. SAD is a rare example of a psychiatric disorder with a clear, identifiable biological cause. This book presents an evidence-based review of our understanding of SAD, focusing on clinical aspects as well as research issues. After a short review of the history of the condition, the first part of the book is clinical in emphasis, covering the presentation of the consition and its symptoms, the epidemiology, and the various options for treatment. Part two shifts the focus to examine research into SAD, covering the range of hypotheses put forward to explain the cause of the condition, and reviewing the experimental evidence for each theory.

Book Description
Canadian Consensus Guidelines for the Treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder is the first comprehensive clinical guide for the diagnosis and treatment of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), or winter depression, a type of clinical depression that affects between 2% and 3% of the Canadian population. Drs. Raymond W. Lam and Anthony J. Levitt, leading clinician-researchers in SAD, organized a Canadian Consensus Group to develop consensus guidelines for the treatment of SAD. Using a rigorous consensus process, the members of this group reviewed the world scientific literature and formulated evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of SAD. Draft guidelines were extensively discussed, reviewed by international experts in the field, and then ratified by the Canadian Consensus Group. This book is the final result.

The consensus guidelines are organized into four major sections: Diagnosis, Epidemiology, and Pathophysiology Light Treatment Medication Treatment Management Issues

The question-and-answer format of the guidelines makes them readily accessible to busy clinicians. Summary tables of recommendations and conclusions allow rapid access to the most important information. A rating of level of scientific evidence is included after every recommendation so that areas of controversy or limited data are highlighted. A full bibliography of over 650 references, updated to June 1, 1999, is also included as a resource for researchers.

These guidelines will be clinically useful to family doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and other health professionals who treat depression and SAD. Researchers and students will find the concise reviews of the literature highly informative. Knowledgeable consumers and family members will also discover practical information and answers to many of their questions about SAD.
