Blurb:-In his landmark new book, Defeating S.A.D, Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal, who first described Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and is the foremost authority on the subject, offers an up-to-date guide to overcoming the miseries that millions experience with the changing seasons.

 In his lively style, Rosenthal offers advice on how to identify, treat and overcome both winter and summer varieties of seasonal affective disorder, as well as the less severe, yet bothersome, winter blues.

 Having pioneered the use of bright light therapy for SAD and relying on his decades of experience treating SAD patients, Rosenthal offers strategies and techniques for defeating the condition, including cognitive-behavioural approaches, diet and exercise advice, medication.

 Dr. Norman Rosenthal is the author of Poetry Rx released last year to rave reviews including:

• The New York Times The Well Book List of 8 Favorite Books in 2021 for Healthy Living
• The subject of a New York Times op ed by Jane Brody

"Norman Rosenthal, the pioneering researcher and psychiatrist who put seasonal depression on the map, has given the public a real gift in Defeating SAD-a totally up-to-date, fascinating exploration of seasonal depression that is at once scientifically rigorous, practical, and written in delightfully clear and plain English. From the neuroscience of SAD and its evolutionary significance to its treatments-like bright light therapy, psychotherapy and practical lifestyle changes-Rosenthal helps readers understand SAD and, best of all, to conquer it. We can't all be lucky enough to have Dr. Rosenthal as our psychiatrist, but everyone can benefit from his invaluable book."

My Review:-If you suffer from the 'Winter Blues' this book is for you. In this book you will learn the difference between 'Winter Blues' and SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). There is a Seasonality and the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire that will help you decide if it is SAD that you have. It gives you advice on diet, exercises, light therapy, medication, and cognitive behavioural therapy, which will help. Dr Roesnthal has made this book easy to read and simple to understand. At the back of the book there are Notes and Index which makes it easy to find information on topics you are looking for. it would be a great sauce of information for anyone.
