I believe I likely have seasonal affective disorder. I live in the
pacific northwest. I typically start having trouble in the fall with
anxiety and low level depression. In years past I only did AD and
occasion lorazepam, but this year I want to try light therapy. It is
August now, and I want to get prepared, before the fall hits. My
worst months seem to be October through early spring. The worst being
Oct-Jan, definitely holiday exaserbated. A complicating factor is that
I work 12 hour shifts and I work nights. 7pm to 7:30 am. 3 days/week.

When I chatted with my doc last year about trying light therapy, he
said "try it". Course, this was late spring by that time, so now, I
want to buy.

My question is, which light to buy, and also, how should I do it with
my work schedule? Last year my doc suggested the Apollo Golite. I
see now that there is the P1, P2, and M2. And other companies make
the visors.

Alot of the info on usenet is from 1998 and 2000. I wanted to get some
current information if possible. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks
