“…Interventions can result in different degrees of observed change depending on severity. There is also evidence in the literature showing that individuals whose condition is the most severe at baseline can be more resistant to change, making it more difficult to treat them effectively (Stiles-Shields et al 2015; Taylor et al 2019; Camuso & Rohan 2020).…”

Many studies have attempted to determine methodology for interpreting change on outcome instruments that result from an intervention. The objective of these studies has been to devise methods to identify the minimal level of change that would be consistent with actual benefit perceived by the patient, and not just statistically significant change. With respect to intervention for bothersome tinnitus, the authors of the original study to develop and validate the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) suggested that a minimum 13-point reduction in the TFI score was likely to reflect a change perceived as meaningful to an individual. The 13-point estimation of meaningful change for an individual is appropriate for use with any adult seeking care for tinnitus. However, it cannot be relied upon in isolation to determine if an individual believes that there has been a noticeable, or meaningful improvement in their quality of life. It is important to use subjective impressions elicited from the patient to assist in interpreting the meaning of TFI data for an individual. For clinicians engaging in care for tinnitus, we recommend using the TFI and pairing it with the patient’s belief/impression as to whether they are doing better than they were before care for tinnitus was provided. Ideally, the outcome assessment would be conducted by someone other than the clinician who provided the intervention.

“…Moreover, drastic mood changes include sad mood and increased anger. In the behavioral‐cognitive approach, they fall under the behavioral section of the psychological vulnerability category (Camuso & Rohan, 2020). A genetic study published in 2015 further adds that individuals with summer SAD are more likely to experience insomnia, agitation, intolerance to heat, and humidity (Kim et al, 2015).…”

“…Chronotype (eveningness) has been a risk factor for SAD in a number of studies, including the research in Norway already described [4]. And in another study, morningness was associated with less severe depression [14]. These results are not surprising given that morning typically involves more light for greater activity and the evening features less light which in turn is a risk factor for SAD.…”

Seasonal Affective Disorder: A Narrative Review

This narrative review of research includes summaries of 46 papers on seasonal affective disorder that were published during the period 2019-2023. The publications are primarily cross-sectional studies of risk factors, randomized controlled trials for light therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy and systematic reviews. A few of the papers are focused on the prevalence of seasonal affective disorder which has varied by latitudes and climates from 3% in Saudi Arabia to 21% in Norway, suggesting length of day and sunlight effects. Only a few studies focused on the negative effects of seasonal affective disorder including sleep problems, depression and poor performance on memory tasks. Most of the research has addressed risk factors for developing seasonal affective disorder including younger age, female gender, dependent personality, seasonal beliefs, chronotype (eveningness), inactivity, insomnia and depression. Very few potential underlying mechanism studies appeared in this literature with the exception of MRI studies suggesting reduced brainstem volume. In contrast, many intervention studies were published recently including light therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Methodological problems relate to the variability in the assessments of seasonal affective disorder, the reliance on self-report measures and the cross-sectional data that are not definitive about directionality of predictors and effects of seasonal affective disorder.
