Seasonal Light Organizations:

1. NOSAD - National Organization for Seasonal Affective Disorder (USA)

NOSAD is a national group founded in 1988 to support the interests of patients with SAD. Its membership is open to patients, relatives, friends, interested professionals, and any others who wish to further its goals. These include:

(1) disseminating information about SAD by means of a regular newsletter;
(2) offering support groups to patients and their families in a manner that has been successful for many other medical and psychiatric illnesses;
(3) working for things that are important to people with SAD - for example, insurance reimbursement for light fixtures.

The parent body has been established in the Washington DC metropolitan area, but members are eager to develop satellite groups across the country. If you are interested in finding out more about NOSAD, or in starting your own local chapter of the group, write to:
