Abstract: with a regimen of venlafaxine 150 mg daily.Light therapy quickly reduced the somatic symptoms and augmented the antidepressant therapy success in this patient (2).The reduction rate of the somatic symptoms was highest for the first 3 days of light therapy.Beyond the antidepressant effects, this case report suggests that light therapy could be useful for treating SD.SD patients with concurrent seasonal affective disorder (SAD) may be most likely to respond to light therapy and bright light, which may act as a strong zeitgeber to synchronize their circadian rhythms.
