Seasonal Affective Disorder is this year's "Hot Disorder" as voted by E! Last week we saw the SAD Body Clock and this week we see some other SAD light boxes. They provide a 20-minute light therapy session that can supposedly set someone up for an entire day with energy. These light boxes (a.k.a. lamps) begin at $400.

What's sad is the sucker who ponies up 400 clams for this.
Really. I think I'd be more depressed by spending $400 on a light bulb.
The condition is real, and yes, a bright light can help reduce the effects. In northern scandinavia you have a time at the end of December when there is no daylight at all for a week or so, and after that the sun only shows just on the edge of the horizon for few hours a day for couple of months.
