I live in the northwest and my depression gets progressively worse over the winter and months.

This may not be a help to you because many people do not want to utilize tanning beds because of the cancer risks. But it really does help me when I tan in the winter time. I can tell the difference in winters where I have used tanning and this winter and others where I did not. Even 10 minutes a day for 3 to 4 days a week makes a difference for me. I even bought a bed just so I wouldn't have the excuse of not wanting to get out of the house. This year though for whatever reason I just have not used it. But since you just reminded me of it I think I will go downstairs today and do just that.

Other than that I don't know of anything.
