Résumé

First-line treatments for winter seasonal affective disorder include light therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy; however, it is unclear whether particular patient profiles respond differentially to each treatment type. This study examined baseline patient cognitive and chronobiological vulnerabilities as prognostic and prescriptive predictors of acute and follow-up treatment outcomes. 177 adults with seasonal affective disorder were randomized to 6-weeks of either light therapy or cognitive-behavioral therapy. Participants completed baseline measures of cognitive vulnerabilities (Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale; Ruminative Response Scale; Seasonal Belief Questionnaire) and chronobiological vulnerability (Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire). Depression was assessed at pre- and post-treatment and at follow-ups one and two winters later. Pre-treatment depression severity correlated significantly with each cognitive vulnerability measure, and significantly predicted future depression. After controlling for pre-treatment depression, higher scores on the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire were prognostic of lower depression at treatment endpoint, but no cognitive vulnerability emerged as a prognostic or prescriptive predictor of outcome. Greater morningness was associated with less severe post-treatment depression in both cognitive-behavior therapy and light therapy. No cognitive vulnerability emerged as a prognostic or prescriptive predictor, perhaps because they correlated with pre-treatment depression severity, a robust predictor of outcome. Future research should test alternative cognitive constructs.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
First-line treatments for winter seasonal affective disorder include light therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy; however, it is unclear whether particular patient profiles respond differentially to each treatment type. This study examined baseline patient cognitive and chronobiological vulnerabilities as prognostic and prescriptive predictors of acute and follow-up treatment outcomes.
METHODS METHODS
177 adults with seasonal affective disorder were randomized to 6-weeks of either light therapy or cognitive-behavioral therapy. Participants completed baseline measures of cognitive vulnerabilities (Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale; Ruminative Response Scale; Seasonal Belief Questionnaire) and chronobiological vulnerability (Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire). Depression was assessed at pre- and post-treatment and at follow-ups one and two winters later.
RESULTS RESULTS
Pre-treatment depression severity correlated significantly with each cognitive vulnerability measure, and significantly predicted future depression. After controlling for pre-treatment depression, higher scores on the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire were prognostic of lower depression at treatment endpoint, but no cognitive vulnerability emerged as a prognostic or prescriptive predictor of outcome.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Greater morningness was associated with less severe post-treatment depression in both cognitive-behavior therapy and light therapy. No cognitive vulnerability emerged as a prognostic or prescriptive predictor, perhaps because they correlated with pre-treatment depression severity, a robust predictor of outcome. Future research should test alternative cognitive constructs.
