Seasonal affective disorder is also known as SAD or winter depression and it is a seasonal condition that results in depression during the winter months. SAD sufferers are affected at the same time every year, as the seasons change. It is understood to be related to the availability of natural sunlight, which is less abundant in winter. Symptoms vary but generally include a propensity to sleep longer, a noticeable lack of energy, and depression. Sufferers also tend to crave sugary, sweet foods and carbohydrates and are more likely to gain weight during this time.

Light therapy is believed to one of the most effective treatments for SAD and this involves being exposed to specially designed strong lights or light boxes for a number of hours every day during the autumn and winter months.

This Verilux Natural Spectrum HappyLite Mini Ultra SAD light offers a super bright, patented 36W bulb that lasts for 10,000 hours and features Tricolite Phosphor Technology. The addition of Electronic Ballast and Flicker Elimination Technology mean that the light operates without any buzzing noise or flickering in the illumination. There are two settings – low and high – enabling you to choose the strength of the light depending on your activity and mood. The lower setting is ideal for reading or for a subtle background light while the higher setting is more beneficial for use while working, or to give you a kick start first thing in the morning.

This product can help to combat SAD by working to naturally enhance your mood and sense of well being. The Natural Spectrum light mimics sunlight so that you can feel energized even when working in a dark office space.
