Resumen

El Trastorno Afectivo Estacional es una patología frecuente en la práctica clínica habitual, cuya prevalencia se halla entre el 1 y el 10% de la población. Se define como la presencia de episodios depresivos mayores recurrentes en una época determinada del año con remisión total posterior cuando es superada dicha estación. En su fisiopatología están implicados diferentes mecanismos tales como: la alteración del ritmo circadiano, la sensibilidad retiniana a la luz, el metabolismo anormal de la melatonina y la disminución de la secreción de neurotransmisores, sobre todo de la serotonina. El tratamiento se basa en la fototerapia o farmacoterapia, optando por uno u otro según las características clínicas del paciente. El objetivo de este artículo, es hacer una revisión clínica sobre dicho trastorno para su mejor reconocimiento y manejo.
