Blood concentrations of serotonin in depressive patients are higher as compared with the healthy persons and do not change with increasing in the brightness of the illumination except for a decrease in a portion of patients showing maximum levels of serotonin and melanin.
对增强光照强度效果的研究表明，在伴有焦虑性抑郁的患者中，高水平的褪黑素排泄量降至正常，而在抑郁性抑郁患者中其低水平保持不变。与健康人相比，抑郁患者血液中血清素的浓度更高，并且除了一部分血清素和黑色素水平达到最高值的患者有所下降外，血清素浓度不会随着光照亮度的增加而改变。
