Antidepressant and energizing effects of bright light exposure have been widely reported to occur in patients with seasonal affective disorder (SAD). In order to evaluate whether other segments of the population might also benefit from this treatment, we studied 20 normal individuals with mild SAD-like symptoms (subsyndromal SAD, S-SAD) and 20 with no reported seasonal difficulties (non-S-SAD). Whereas S-SAD individuals benefited from phototherapy, non-S-SAD normals did not. This finding raises the questions of whether a history of seasonal problems might be a marker of vulnerability to affective episodes and if S-SAD individuals might be considered as a high risk population in this regard.
强光照射对季节性情感障碍（SAD）患者的抗抑郁和提神作用已被广泛报道。为了评估其他人群是否也能从这种治疗中获益，我们研究了20名有轻度SAD样症状的正常个体（亚综合征性SAD，S-SAD）和20名未报告有季节性问题的个体（非S-SAD）。S-SAD个体从光疗中获益，而非S-SAD正常个体则没有。这一发现引发了以下问题：季节性问题史是否可能是情感发作易感性的一个标志，以及在这方面S-SAD个体是否可被视为高危人群。
