Dr. Brian McDonough on Seasonal Affective Disorder

NEW YORK (1010 WINS)  -- For people with Seasonal Affective Disorder, the winter can be a perilous time. 

Numerous studies have shown that light deprivation common in winter can lead to depression and it hits certain people hard. 

It has been a problem for generations, probably since the time of cave dwellers. But today we have knowledge about sleep patterns, light deprivation and the role of hormones and light in treatment. 

If you feel depressed and can’t get a lift, talk with your doctor. There is help.
