Spring Has Arrived!
Spring has arrived once again and like most years I am beginning to return to a temperament/mood that I enjoy and that I look forward to. I am always surprised at how much influence the seasons can have on my experience of everything. The transition is always subtle, but the impact is never mistaken and is always huge. The longer days, the warmer weather and the newfound energy that touches everything and brings forth a buzz that radiates to the core. Spring, I’m glad you are here!

I know exactly what you mean… My mood is greatly affected by the seasons as well.

you know, I realized before my teen years this mood waves related with the seasons. My downs with winter. I have the impression that this (our diagnosis) in some cases, has got to do with you being more sensitive to things we dont know or are conscious of. I’m happy springs here too!

…to things we don’t know or aren’t aware of (sorry)

Spring makes me happy as well and all the hopes for a new and happy life come with it.

At the beginning of the 1980’s in the United States Professor Rosenthal discovered the benefits of light therapy lamps. At first they were used in cases of seasonal depression also called SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Light therapy is today practised in a number of hospitals a number of pathologies, but mostly with trouble linked to the upset of the biological clock (circadian rhythm problems) like insomnia and generally trouble sleeping.
