Sorry I don't think I have SAD. So I can't help with the interview.
But inregards to the last questions... Actually, I heard that the full spectrum has more to do with the amount of UVB rays it contains. Becuase those rays allow your body to create Vitamin D3 (which is actually a hormone version of vitamin D). This hormone plays an essential role in almost every function of your body. So, it is not surprising that this hormone regulates some of your brain activity and can help to control how you feel. During the winter months in many countries people do not receive enough UVB rays, and therefore they do not create enough hormone vitamin D, and their body functions and mood suffer.
thnx a bunch
