For Anyone Who gets "Blue" in the Dark Days of Winter December 22, 2008
The Winter Blues is an excellent guide for anyone who is affected by the darker days of Winter...it is very encouraging for anyone w/this often misunderstood malady those who care for someone, who suffers through it. It is great to read that it can so simply be improved or reversed that their quality of life can be restored so easily.

this book changed my life December 6, 2008

This book was SO, SO helpful to me. I could tell the author understands what I have gone through (or as another reviewer said, it was very validating). As a result of reading this book, I bought a good light box (I had been using a very bright lamp, but it did not put out nearly the amount of lumens as the box I now have) and started taking Welbutrin during the fall and winter months. These two things changed my life! I no longer dread winter (although I still don't like it, especially the foggy weather the place I live is prone to) and, more importantly, I no longer go through the weeks of severe emotional pain where I prayed God would let me die. The very worst thing winter does to me now is a few weeks of being more tired than usual and mild blue days now and then.br / I think the two people who gave the one star reviews don't have SAD. It's something I think you have to have to understand, altough there is a section in this book for freinds and family to read that is very good. As a person who has suffered severely from SAD, I can say the book is very good and HELPFUL.
