Treatment Treatment
Light therapy is very effective. Two out of three patients will do well with it. Standard anti-depressants may also be used and research has shown they can be equally as effective as light therapy. Please consult with a professional.
If you have difficulty with your normal routine at work or at home, if your relationships are strained because of low energy and you’re irritable, and you really just can’t get through the day at work the way you usually can, this would be atimetogethelp.
