Concise yet detailed account of symptoms (craving carbs at night!) and treatment modalities of SAD. Lots of drug-free approaches, don't worry.

Excellent introduction to SAD by D. Lewis (Glastonbury, Connecticut) 5 Stars
October 05, 2008
This is a tremendously helpful book for anyone who is looking for relief from winter's short days. The authors describe how to identify the signs and symptoms of seasonal affective disorder and suggest treatment options, including drug and non-drug approaches as well as practical coping strategies. It's written in a reassuring style that's easy to read and understand. I highly recommend this book.

An other treatment option 5 Stars
June 27, 2008
I found this book to be very readable with another viewpoint on treating SAD. Lights and medications have not worked for me, so I am cautiously optimistic about trying this approach. It almost sounds too simple...but my psychiatrist supports trying it. This next winter will tell the story...

Very Informative and helpful by T. M. Wolfe 5 Stars
October 02, 2007
There aren't many books on this subject, and this is certainly the best one I have come across. Well researched, and well written; the authors do a good job at communicating not only the causes and effects of SAD, but proven and innovative therapies to help people through what is a wide-spread disorder. The authors also do a good job at making the content simple and engaging for different audiences. This will be the go-to resource for both patients and therapists looking to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
