Clinical  Chronobiology
Medication, Light  and  ion  therapy for depression
The Columbia Clinical Chronobiology Program has been a leader in NIH-sponsored research on Seasonal Affective Disorder since the start of this field more than 15 years ago. The program focuses on the use of both pharmacologic (antidepressant) and non-pharmacologic (light and negative air ion) therapies for treating different types of depression. The investigators also lead the Center for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms at New York Presbyterian Hospital, which offers clinical services to outpatients and inpatients.
