The statistics show that 51 percent of young people say they feel depressed! More people than ever are suffering from depression. This may be due to the economy as well as personal problems in their lives.
Whatever the reason it has become necessary for alternative treatment methods to come to the foreground.
One such treatment is light therapy using a mask. A light therapy mask offers an effective safe way to relieve the symptoms of depression without any major side effects. If you've been wondering about this procedure the following will give you more details as to how this therapy works.
The light therapy depression mask gets placed over the face as it emits LED lights. The LED light mimics natural light to boost serotonin levels in the brain. This elevates a person's mood.
The therapy is usually very helpful because it also has a positive effect on cardiac rhythm as well.
It has been found that wearing the mask for even short sessions can help to increase your energy levels and boost your mood. This can help to reduce stress levels and manage feelings of depression. It is especially helpful during winter days when many people experience the seasonal affective disorder.
However, it is not just seasonal depression that the therapy is effective with. It can also be used to treat depression that occurs during or after pregnancy.
Due to the nature of pregnancy, it is often not safe for a woman to take medication for depression. Light therapy is a relatively easy and safe way to relieve the symptoms.
LED lights come in a variety of colors. It may be green, blue, or red to name a few. It is the red light that is used to help to improve a person's mood.
When the red light is combined with near-infrared light from the mask it is powerful in helping to relieve depression.
In addition to being referred to as phototherapy, light therapy is also used to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and other mood disorders by exposing patients to bright light. Symptoms of SAD include low mood, fatigue, and decreased motivation that are related to changes in the seasons.
Despite the fact that the underlying mechanism of light therapy for mood disorders is not completely understood, it is believed that it affects the regulation of circadian rhythms, which are responsible for regulating mood, sleep, and other biological functions.
During light therapy, patients typically sit near a light box that emits bright, white light for a specific period of time each day, usually in the morning, for a period of several weeks. The light exposure should be intense enough to cause a physiological response in the body, but not so bright that it causes discomfort or damage to the eyes.
Research has demonstrated that light therapy can be an effective treatment for seasonal depression as well as other mood disorders. As a complement to other therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or medication, it can often be as effective as antidepressant medication in some cases.
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for depression, and light therapy is not effective for all individuals. A mental health professional should be consulted if you are experiencing any symptoms of depression.
An LED face mask is relatively easy to use. All you have to do is place the straps around your head. The straps are adjustable and you can keep the charger in your pocket.
The mask can be placed on a timer so that it will shut off after a while. You will not feel any heat when you are wearing the mask. Many people go about their regular activities such as reading, listening to music, or watching television while they are wearing a mask.
A light therapy mask is something you should try if you're looking to relieve your depression more naturally. It is a great alternative to medication and is very effective.
It can help to soothe you and boost your mood. This mask is especially beneficial for those who experience seasonal sadness or if a woman is pregnant and cannot take medication for depression.
