Additional Study Information: Previous data suggest some depressed patients act as if their internal biological clock is out of sync with the outside world and re-aligning their clock with the timing of sunlight lessens their depressed mood and accompanying depressive symptoms. This protocol may lead to remission during the first week of treatment while causing minimal problems. Which treatment condition a participant will receive will be determined randomly (i.e., by chance, essentially a computerized flip of a coin). Prior to determination of which protocol a patient will follow, each patient will declare their desired sleep time (for example, 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.). All patients will be assigned specific times to sleep and sit in front of bright lights wearing clear or amber goggles. Assigned sleep times will differ between groups using different strategies to shift the timing of their sleep from their ideal sleep time as determined by their MEQ score to their desired sleep time. All participants will be rated daily by telephone for the first week following randomization, and then weekly for an additional five weeks. Whenever possible, weekly visits will be in person, although telephone visits will be allowed. All participants will be rated at baseline, 1 week and 6 weeks by an Independent Evaluator blind to treatment assignment (as well as the nature of the treatment and if it has occurred or not). After the six week post-randomization evaluation, all participants will be offered six months of regular psychiatric treatment and be rated monthly. Change in the symptom measures will determine treatment efficacy.Note: This study does not offer monetary compensation for participation.
