Am J Psychiatry. 1987 Dec;144(12):1602-3. doi: 10.1176/ajp.144.12.1602.

Abstract

The authors describe 12 patients who regularly became depressed in summer. This pattern is opposite to one the authors previously described, in which patients became depressed in winter and responded to treatment with light. Temperature may influence some summer depressions.
