    Abstract

    The influence of diurnal variations of mood (DVM) and sleep disturbances on treatment response was investigated in 42 patients with major depressive disorder (not SAD) under the treatment of either bright white light (2,500 lx) or dim red light (50 lx). We found only a slight influence in certain subscales of DVM and no influence of sleep disturbances. These results are discussed under a clinical point of view and with respect to phase shift theories of depressive disorders.
