Dear Diva,
Light therapy is a kind of treatment for seasonal affective.disorder, usually depression. It increases the time you are exposed to light. Light therapy lamps are a great option for helping with seasonal affective disorder. f you're given the go-ahead, our favorite option is the Circadian Optic.
The simple, modern design will fit anywhere and it is easy to ude. This light has an intensity of 10,000 lux in a pure white color that’s designed to imitate the sun at noon, and it boasts three adjustable brightness settings.
Best,
Antonio
Its surprising that mainstream psychiatry is utilizing such conventional, non-allopathic kind of alternative treatments.
