Notes. WAM: self-scoring on the 30-item WAM Test obtained by averaging over scores provided in daytime and nighttime hours (10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00, and 18:00 and 23:00, 1:00, 3:00, and 5:00, resp.); averaged: mean score obtained by further averaging over 3 10-item self-scorings. HRSD: depression score rated with the 21-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression; SIGH: self-scoring on the 29-item Structured Interview Guide for the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale: Seasonal Affective Disorder; Addendum: self-scoring on the Addendum items concerning atypical depressive symptoms (see Materials and Methods). Level of significance for difference between the patient and control groups: (), (), and ().
