BIOMETEOROLOGY is the interdisciplinary field of science that studies the interactions between the climate and human behavior. seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that occurs in the fall and winter months, rainy and loss of sun light. The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of PHOTO THERAPY based on tourism in the control of SAD (seasonal affective disordr). SAD or winter depression is considered a clinical subtype of mood disorder. SAD and PHOTO THERAPY were identified from basic studies of circadian and seasonal rhythms. A total of 14 patients suffering from seasonal affective disorder, were recruited through the administration of structured DSM-IV (SCID), and using purposive sampling and subsequent to being qualified in accordance with therapeutic conditions, they underwent the treatment process. The study employed a pretest, post-test, follow-up design and the patients in the study received a 5-month. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and daily mood checklist were the research tools. Repeated single case measurements were employed to analyze the data. Recovery percentage was also applied to measure the clinical significance. The data analysis revealed that PHOTO THERAPY based on tourism led to significant reductions in winter depression symptoms. Moreover, there was no lessening of effectiveness with recovery rates in the follow-up study, two month after the treatment. The large positive treatment effects found in the PHOTO THERAPY based on tourism, alleviating the severe symptoms of suffering a relapse in SAD patients and achieving clinically significant and relevant improvement exposed of sun. phototourism on negative mood symptoms and control recurrence in depressed patients during was more effective than cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
