[QUOTE="klmno, post: 218124, member: 3699"] Here's what I hear- both from a couple of posts on this board and from psychiatrist- 1) they can be helpful but they can be costly 2) when a person has mood cycling instead of unipolar depression or strictly the seasonal affective disorder (I think that's what it's called), it can possibly induce mania 3) it's hard to get kids to use it as it's recommended- which apparently is to get them awake early and sit in front of this light for an hour before going to school or something like that. If you find more positive news about this, I'd love to hear it. My son gets this depression every fall and has mania in late winter/early spring and is relatively stable (at least manageable) in between those periods. I would LOVE to find a solution to even a small part of this!! [/QUOTE]
