Abstract Circadian rhythm disorders

Abstract Circadian rhythm disorders represent an
important component underlying the pathology of depression. One of the subtypes of depression, in which these
disorders may play a crucial role, is the seasonal affective
disorder (SAD). The bright light therapy (BLT) has been
reported as a novel, promising treatment method for SAD
since 1984, and most of the data revealing its efficacy has
been referred to adult patients, without comorbid disorders.
However, in the recent years, more and more reports have
been presented, which confirm the usefulness of BLT in
some specific subpopulations of patients, including children, adolescents and pregnant women. The present review
summarizes the applications of BLT in antepartum
depression, childhood and adolescence depression as well
as in patients suffering from eating disorders. Although the
body of evidence is still too small to recommend the use of
BLT as the first line of treatment for the depression or
eating disorders in these patient subpopulations; it appears
that BLT may be a useful alternative or adjunctive therapy
for these diseases. However, the specific clinical applications of BLT in these areas need further investigation.
