Do you positively hate winter, the gray skies and worse of all of the depression that kicks in?
There are heaps of treatment possibilities which claim to help with this ever so daunting ailment,eg the Litebook Elite, but do these treatments actually work or are they smoke and mirrors?
Seasonal Affective Disorder is savage and for those among us stuck living in northern communities that have extremely limited sunlight during the winter months, it can seem almost intolerable.
Symptoms usually are:
- Difficulty going to sleep, staying asleep, or sleeping too much
- Fatigue or lack of energy
- Overeating or a poor appetite
- Heavy weight gain or weight management though you were not dieting
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
- Feeling down, miserable, or hopeless
- Feeling bad about yourself or feeling you were letting yourself or family down
- Trouble concentrating
- Feeling fidgety or restless ( moving around more than standard )
- Moving or talking so slowly that people could have noticed
Some unfortunate folks suffer from all of these but many might only have 1 or 2 of them. Now chances are you are already conscious of what Seasonal Affective Disorder is and what you want to understand is does a device like the “Litebook Elite” really work?
Well, the cool news is yes.
Infact the Mayo Clinic itself even asserts that light therapy is a real seasonal affective disorder treatment and there are numerous other resources to support this. So it is safe to say firstly that yes light therapy works but what about the Litebook Elite?
The Litebook Elite is the new generation of light therapy, the result of years of study and development in handheld light therapy devices. This new model features a custom lens and diffusion system which, combined with the high-performance white LEDs that all Litebook products are known for, produces a uniform field of bright yet soothing light and when used each day the Litebook Elite will improve your mood, increase your energy level and restore your sleep patterns. Most of the people notice results within 30 days – regularly earlier.
A word of alert however if you have a history of eye disease including, but not restricted to, macular degeneration, have been through laser remedial eye surgery during the past 30 days, or if you are now taking any medicines including certain antibiotics which render you photosensitive ( intensely attuned to light ). If so then you want to check with your ophthalmologist or medicare provider before using a product like this.
Overall but the Litebook Elite is light-weight, conveyable and you can take it with you anywhere. Even though it is little, it delivers as much light as one of the big desk size units. It evens comes with a nice carry case and adapters for recharging the battery.
I especially would suggest the Litebook if portability or space are key concerns for you. This device is compact and really movable.
I will admit however , the small size that makes it so portable is also Litebook’s largest negative. The area of light projected is tiny enough that you may feel like you have to sit in one position the whole time using it.
