Are tanning beds good for Seasonal Affective Disorder?


Are tanning beds good for Seasonal Affective Disorder?
Please help I have been searching for hours and can't seem to get a straight answer if it has been proven whether tanning beds are good / can help with Seasonal Affective Disorder. I keep reading that people have heard that it is good for that but can anyone tell me if it has been proven? Thank you so much! Very nice of you to take time to help.

No, because they are not good for your skin. There are lamps (not sure where to purchase them) that do help with SAD. They light up gradualy like a sunrise when you turn them on.
Please speak with your Dr. about this, and also you might want to check home depot, places like that.
However, being a medical condition, I would recommend you start with your Dr. first.
Take care..
