In the intricate tapestry of mental health, major depression stands as a formidable and widespread challenge, casting a shadow over the lives of millions worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from depression globally. Traditional treatments, including medications and psychotherapy, have long been the cornerstone of major depression therapy. However, for many patients, these approaches may not provide complete relief, leading to a persistent search for innovative and effective alternatives. In recent years, light therapy, particularly near infrared light therapy and infra red light therapy, has emerged as a promising avenue in the treatment of depression, offering new hope for those struggling with this debilitating condition.

Understanding Major Depression

Major depression, also known as clinical depression, is a mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyable. It can significantly impact a person's thoughts, feelings, and behavior, affecting their ability to function in daily life. Symptoms of major depression may include changes in appetite and sleep patterns, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and in severe cases, thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
