VOICED: Beating the winter blues: Light therapy in Sweden

The video discusses the challenges of limited daylight during winter in Stockholm, leading to seasonal affective disorder (SAD) for many. Magnus visits a light cafe for blue light therapy, a common practice to combat these effects. The cafe's owner, inspired by his own struggles with SAD, offers this service to help regulate body clocks. Light therapy is routine in Stockholm's hospitals, though not always sufficient for depression. The video also touches on the evolutionary aspect, suggesting that humans are adapted to equatorial light conditions, and moving away from the equator has led to these issues.
