5.Treatment: Medication
Your doctor might suggest an antidepressant drug called a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI.) These pills help keep more serotonin in your brain, which can help mood and sleep. Ask about the risks and side effects, which might include dry mouth, nausea, sleep problems, dizziness, headache, and sexual problems. You may need to try different SSRIs or other antidepressants to find one that works best for you.
6.Treatment: Light Therapy
You can use special lamps to help replace the sun that you miss during the winter months. These light boxes provide about 20 times more light than regular indoor lighting and screen out the UV rays that can damage your skin. Just 20 to 60 minutes each morning in front of one of these lamps during the winter could help ease your symptoms.
