Abstrakt:	A recent study conducted at Ningbo Kangning Hospital in China explored the effects of bright light therapy (BLT) on patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their caregivers. The study found that a 4-week course of BLT significantly reduced depression in both groups and resulted in significant changes in electroencephalogram (EEG) power. The researchers concluded that BLT could be an effective non-pharmacologic treatment for depression in AD patients and their caregivers. This study provides valuable insights into potential therapies for AD and highlights the importance of non-pharmacologic approaches in managing the disease. [Extracted from the article]
