Wayne,

SAD is a very serious illness and can greatly affect someone's "mood". One of the symtems is that the suffer becomes more distant and does not want any physical contact. My wife has suffered for a number of years and we are still looking for some answers as to how we combat this illness. I suggest you read all you can and if your fiance wants you to help then be patient with her. Suggested topics to read up on are the effects of alchohol, caffeine, and diet on SAD sufferers. Also consider excersice and lifestyle (fresh air, outdoors etc) as a major weapon against SAD. The Lumie light box that my wife has does work and givs her more energy and a "boost". She uses it first thing in the morning and again when the sun goes down at 4ish.
Good luck.
