I live in Alaska, and as you likely know, daylight in the summer can be incessant while the winters seem perpetually dark. Do you think there is a variant of SAD wherein excessive light exposure leads to manic-like symptoms? Im quite familiar with the winter blues form of SAD, and anecdotally, I see some evidence of a "summer mania." Do you have any data or theories on this? Thanks!
