How Do I Use Light To Lighten Depression?

Lighten Up Depression

Dr. Jonathan Zuess, a Phoenix-based psychiatrist, recommends an hour walk in the early morning sun as one of the best natural antidepressant helpers. Light is VITAL for our bodies to maintain production of key hormones and brain chemicals, so getting too little light can create a problem, namely depression. Don't let the lack of sunlight trigger this problem, especially during the winter or rainy months. If you can't go strolling in the sun make it a priority to purchase a full-spectrum light box and full-spectrum light bulbs, which mimic natural light. These can be purchased at most natural health stores or check out Internet listings for full-spectrum light products.
