Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 78 and dislike the short gray days of winter. I know that light therapy is used for seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and I would like to try it. How do I know which light box or lamp is a good choice? (Does it block ultraviolet rays, provide the right amount of light, etc.?) -- K.J.
