Seasonal affective disorder is characterized by depressive symptoms that occur at a specific time of year, typically fall or winter, with full remission at other times of year. First-line therapy for seasonal affective disorder includes light therapy, antidepressants, and cognitive behavior therapy, alone or in combination. If seasonal affective disorder recurs, long-term treatment or preventive intervention is typically indicated. Bupropion appears to have the strongest evidence supporting long-term use.

Parkinson disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with significant morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of Parkinson disease is clinical, and key disease features are bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremor. Parkinson disease progression is variable and clinical signs cannot be used to predict progression accurately. Interdisciplinary team care can alleviate multiple symptoms of Parkinson disease.
