| Core Tip |
Bright light therapy represents a promising intervention for the treatment of perinatal depression, demonstrating significant efficacy and a favorable safety profile. This non-pharmacological approach is particularly well-received among pregnant and postpartum individuals, as well as their support networks, due to its lack of systemic side effects. The integration of bright light therapy into the psychiatric armamentarium for perinatal depression may enhance therapeutic flexibility and patient adherence, thereby contributing to improved mental health outcomes in this vulnerable population. |
