Light therapy headsets

Are they any good? They're expensive enough where I'm from but I'm willing to try unless they are a total gimmick for SAD folk...

Are you asking about light therapy helping PTSD or SAD (seasonal affective disorder)?

Never heard of them until this thread and from what I found on google they are marketed for those with seasonal affective disorder not anything else and even then I would be very sceptical

Have you tried the lamps/lights already?

Both really, as one of my main symptoms is depression and it worsens in dark months.

Yes true, very sceptical myself. They are €250.

Have you tried the lamps/lights already?

Never have but am intrigued. I don't know anyone who has, actually.

My mom and I each have a floor lamp and light box. They seem to help! Now they have smaller portable light devices, too.

Oh that's good - they are probably something similar to that. If I come into extra cash I'm going to give them a go and I'll give my verdict.

I picked up a countertop sun light at a thrift store yesterday for $4! It now sits on my kitchen counter. I looked it up online and it goes for $90 new. These things can be so expensive!

Sweet find! ?

Definitely get one of these lights! I’m convinced mine is helping me. I like this small countertop model. My other two, a floor lamp and light box, never got used because I never had a place to put them.

I’d stay away from the glasses....they aren’t as versatile and you’d have to worry about breaking them.

Will look for one, thanks for the advice.
