Hi,
yes there is definitely a connection. Depression can be cause by not enough sunlight. It just shows the serotonin connection. Ive read that sunlight in our eyes keeps serotonin from converting to melatonin(chemical we need for sleep). Thats why they suggest a person who has insomnia to sleep with the room completely dark(no tv or light whatsoever). If a person is in the dark too long this balance weighs heavier with the melatonin and a person becomes depressed and tired. Thats where the light therapy comes in. In my opinon dp/dr is nothing more that a product of an intolerable mental state. Its not an illness, just part of a healthy fof response. So if you put the two together, you can see the connection.
