Does anyone know of any measures or studies or policies related to
the public health aspects of Seasonal Affective Disorder Syndrome (SADS)?
For those of you who haven't heard of SADS, it's a feeling of lethargy and depression sufffered by an estimated 3% of the North American population around the time of the fall equinox -- caused by the reduction of daylight hours. Among the most effective treatments is exposure to full-spectrum, high intensity lighting.
I wondered if anyone has looked into the idea of enhancing lighting of public interior spaces in cities north of the 45 latitude.
Thanks
