Reduced depression symptoms

Low mood and fatigue, two common depression symptoms, can frequently be improved by sunlight. Both seasonal and severe depression can be treated with light therapy.

After a few days, if you suffer from seasonal depression, you could feel better. It might take up to two to five weeks before you start feeling better if you have major depression. Scientists are still unsure about how sunlight impacts depression. Since sunshine can help in the body's production of vitamin D, some people think it has a protective effect. It's also possible that sunlight makes sleeping better, which lessens how severe depressive symptoms are. If your energy is low due to depression, it's still pretty simple to get outside in the sun. Try taking your daily dosage while having lunch, reading a book, or simply relaxing in the sun; but don't forget to wear sunscreen.
