I work in a pharmacy. During winter time we see a pretty big increase in antidepressant use (new prescriptions, higher doses, change of medication, etc.). Do you think it's pointless for so many people to be on antidepressants simply because of seasonal affective disorder? Do you think light therapy would be more efficient? If so, why don't more psychiatrists use this technique?
