Morning light therapy for winter depression: predictors of response.

Abstract:

:Bright-light therapy is widely regarded as an effective treatment for winter seasonal affective disorder (SAD). We attempted to identify predictors of light therapy response in 54 depressed, drug-free outpatients diagnosed with SAD by DSM-III-R criteria. After a baseline week, patients were treated for 2 weeks with 2500-lx cool-white fluorescent light exposure from 0600 to 0800 daily. The results showed that light therapy significantly reduced depression scores. Several indices of atypical and typical symptoms correlated with response, but none was clearly superior to the pre-treatment depression score. A multiple regression analysis identified 3 factors (hypersomnia, increased eating and younger age) that predicted light-therapy response. These results suggest that specific symptoms of hypersomnia and hyperphagia are predictors of response to morning bright-light therapy in SAD.
