Detailed item info

Synopsis
Most inhabitants of the earth feel seasonal changes to some extent. But others find that seasonal affective disorder (SAD), in its worst cases, can interfere with day-to-day living and incapacitate its victims. In WINTER BLUES, Norman E. Rosenthal, M.D., addresses the problems of those who suffer from this disorder at length, touching on causes and symptoms, explaining the different ways it can manifest, and even addressing "summer SAD." He presents a complete guide to various treatments--traditional and more modern--including light therapy and antidepressant medication as well as herbs and vitamins. With plenty of examples and anecdotes, Rosenthal keeps this guide personal and accessible while sharing the depth of his extensive experience. Advice for family and friends, a history of SAD through the ages, and specific advice for seeking further help enrich this volume, and a dietary guide, menus, and recipes round out the practical advice found here. A test for self-assessment will enable the reader to judge his or her own susceptibility to SAD. On a gray day or with the sun shining, the reader affected by the weather will find understanding, hope, and direction in WINTER BLUES.

Publisher's Note
Updating and expanding his immensely popular and useful guide, Norman E. Rosenthal has written a veritable survival kit for anyone who suffers from the winter blues. This authoritative and engaging book presents the very latest information on the many dimensions of SAD, including the newly recognized distinctions between various degrees of the disorder, from "winter blues" to full-blown SAD. The book features revised chapters on antidepressant medications and light therapy; a new chapter on coping with SAD all year round; details on St. John's word and on two helpful nutritional regimens; a self-test to help readers evaluate their own level of SAD; and a comprehensive list of SAD resource centers. Also included is a discussion of the use of light therapy in treating problems with symptoms that mirror those of SAD, such as jet lag, sleep disorders, premenstrual syndrome, and shift work. In a concluding chapter, Dr. Rosenthal illustrates how even those with SAD can enjoy the darkest of seasons.
