Seasonal Affective Disorder, described in 1984 by Rosenthal in the United States of America, was individualized in France since this concept entered the DSM III-R in 1989. Firstly, the purpose of the authors was an attempt to draw the historical evolution of the concept, his clinical and epidemiological aspects. Secondly, they considered the physiological hypothesises, which followed two ways of research: on the one hand the impairment of endogenous chronobiological rhythms, especially melatonin and serotonin rhythms; on the other hand the photoperiodical hypothesis. Thildly, the authors proposed the main specific prospects of treatments: chimiotherapeutic methods--particularly 5-methoxypsoralen--and non chimiotherapeutic such as phototherapy.
季节性情感障碍由罗森塔尔于1984年在美国描述，自1989年该概念被纳入《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版修订版后在法国被个体化。首先，作者们的目的是试图梳理该概念的历史演变、临床和流行病学方面。其次，他们考虑了生理学假设，这遵循了两种研究途径：一方面是内源性生物钟节律的损害，尤其是褪黑素和血清素节律；另一方面是光周期假说。第三，作者们提出了主要的具体治疗前景：化学治疗方法——特别是5-甲氧基补骨脂素——以及非化学治疗方法，如光疗。
