A 28-year-old woman attends a GP appointment. She tells you she has suffered with “the winter blues” since her early 20s and has tried all of the advice she has read online about managing this – such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, but still finds each winter to be miserable. Things seem worse than ever the past couple of years since she has moved to Newcastle where the winters seem to be longer and darker. She is keen to try light therapy, which she has read about online.
