Bright light therapy may benefit older patients with depression.The New York Times "Well" blog reported that, according to a study published in the January issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry, bright light therapy, currently used to help patients with seasonal affective disorder, may also benefit older patients with depression. In a study including 89 patients over the age of 60, "compared with a placebo, light therapy improved mood just as well as conventional antidepressant medications." The study's lead author said that bright light therapy "should be considered for major depression because of its benefits, especially the apparent lack of adverse side effects."
Yes, I also saw in some Television program that bright light therapy is useful in depression. Depression is a type of mental disorder that affects a person’s mood.
