The proportion of patients with a fall-winter pattern of feeling worst comparable to that of patients with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) was 11.4% in our sample of major depressed inpatients. Since admission to psychiatric inpatient services is influenced to an unknown extent by various factors it is not possible to generalize our data to other facilities. However, based on the results of our study it seems worth while to screen depressed patients for their degree of seasonality since treatment with bright artificial light has been shown to be beneficial in SAD patients and its subsyndromal form.
在我们的重度抑郁住院患者样本中，秋冬症状最为严重的患者比例与季节性情感障碍（SAD）患者相当，为11.4%。由于精神科住院服务的入院情况在未知程度上受到多种因素影响，因此我们的数据无法推广至其他机构。然而，基于我们的研究结果，对抑郁患者的季节性程度进行筛查似乎是值得的，因为明亮的人造光治疗已被证明对SAD患者及其亚综合征形式有益。
