On light therapy, there are a few reasons why it may help with depression symptoms. There are several reasons for this, including:

Acts on your biological clock by balancing the activation of serotonin circuitry in your brain, which is a vital component in mood regulation, leads to stable and consistent sleep patterns, and enhances alertness. The effectiveness of light therapy is determined by the wavelength of light used, the length of time it is used, and your specific circadian rhythm patterns. Circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles of critical biological activities that can alter hormones, sleep schedules, and eating habits, among other things.

 

How it works

Light treatment compensates for the absence of sunlight exposure that may lead to seasonal variations in major depressive disorder.

You sit near a light box or lamp that generates bright light during a session. The box or lamp is designed to seem like natural sunshine, however there may be differences between devices from different manufacturers. A light therapy box's normal output is between 2,500 and 10,000 lux. A lux is a unit of measurement for the brightness of light. Treatments are often started in the fall and last until early spring. The length of the session is determined by how well you take the treatment and the light box's strength. Starting with 10,000 lux for 30 minutes every morning is normally recommended in standard bright light therapy guidelines, however someone new to the procedure may require shorter initial treatments. The therapy session may be shorter if the light box is more powerful.
