Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a disturbance of mood and behavior which resembles some seasonal changes seen in lower mammals. Like these animal seasonal changes, SAD is thought to be related to decreased sunlight during winter months. [SAD has been successfully treated with exposure to bright artificial light of higher intensity than is usually present in the home or workplace. Many people not suffering from SAD may nonetheless have seasonal changes which could be helped by environmental light supplementation. Lighting standards in the home and workplace should be re-evaluated on the basis of new knowledge of the psychobiological effects of light.] We review the literature on SAD and discuss its public health implications in the context of a typical case presentation.
季节性情感障碍（SAD）是一种情绪和行为紊乱，类似于在低等哺乳动物中观察到的一些季节性变化。与这些动物的季节性变化一样，SAD被认为与冬季日照减少有关。[通过暴露于比家庭或工作场所通常存在的强度更高的明亮人造光下，SAD已得到成功治疗。许多未患SAD的人可能仍有季节性变化，环境光补充可能会对其有所帮助。应根据关于光的心理生物学效应的新知识，重新评估家庭和工作场所的照明标准。]我们回顾了关于SAD的文献，并在典型病例介绍的背景下讨论其对公共卫生的影响。
