Abstract

Abstract: Seasonal affective disorder， also known as "winter blues"， refers to an emotional disorder caused by climate change. With a unique pathogenesis， the key to diagnosis is obvious seasonal onset and spontaneous symptom relief. Seasonal affective disorder has a significant impact on people's lives. Medical workers should accurately recognize the characteristics of symptoms of this disease， and timely deliver treatment and interventions， as well as guidance on healthy lifestyle， to minimize the impact of the disease. Bright light therapy， a unique treatment， plays an important role in the treatment of seasonal affective disorder. In this paper， major symptoms， susceptible populations， pathogenesis， treatments and preventions for the disease are discussed in detail.

摘要： 季节性情感障碍，也叫“冬季抑郁症”，是指因气候变化而产生的一种情绪障碍，有着独特的发病机制，诊断的关键在于明显的季节性发作和自发的症状缓解。季节性情感障碍对于人们的生活有着显著的影响，医疗工作者应准确识别其症状特点，及时地进行治疗干预，教给患者健康的生活方式，尽量减少病症所造成的影响。光照疗法作为一种独特的治疗方法，在季节性情感障碍的治疗中有着举足轻重的地位。本文主要就季节性情感障碍的主要症状及易感人群、发病机制、治疗方法、预防等做进一步详细阐述。
