Anyway I've never been affected by this but I've read many places that sun lamps (or grow lamps like someone else said...a lot cheaper) help a lot.

i.e people in the Arctic or certain parts of Alaska.
OP lives in NYC according to location.
all i said is that it is often diagnosed as a result of depression due to weight gain. OP is that the case?
Its not very often to find a true case of SAD in everyday people.

I focus on both aspects.
My abnormal psych professor alluded to SAD in the same way most psychiatrists allude to ADD. Its over diagnosed, true circumstances of both are not that common.
The time i took was spent in class and working on my research.
Did you go outside today?
Was there any sun?
Did you go out yesterday?
Was there any sun?
Unless the answer to both of those is yes, no, yes and no, respectively dont give me that bullshit about NYC being a dark and gloomy place.

If you say it's not common, that does not mean OP is not suffering from it so why do you discount it?

Unless OP spends all day inside a dark basement with no light besides a computer monitor its most likely something else causing the depression and not SAD.
Why do you discount the fact that i may know a bit more about this than you?
Where is PAINT?
I believe he is also currently studying psychology. Lets here his say.

You live in California right? Different story....think outside your box.
I did want one of those light lamps, but they seem gimmicky to me..
