Light therapy?

[shirl000]

Has anyone tried light therapy for depression? And is the sun the same as using a light? Anyone try this type of therapy? Looking for experiences.
Thank you

While doing research for my cat, looking for help with kidney damage to prevent her from going into kidney failure, I ran across & an article that said that it is recommended for help in the kidneys. It is done with a heat lamp &/or a stick, but, I don't recall @ the moment, what it is called.
Lack of sunlight, I know, can make depression worse & sometimes make you more susceptible to it.
Who are you asking about it for? A person or animal?
I personally think it is worth checking into & it is something that you can do at home. No need for visits to a Dr. or vet, no insurance involved. Just a comfortable place to be, the bulb, a clamp lamp & some electricity! (If I can find those articles back, I will give you the links to the sites.
But, yes, I think it would be worth it!
