Hello, I have noticed that my 17-year-old daughter who has anxiety/depression, (PMS) has an aversion to sun light. Her paternal Grandmother is the same way. I tell her the sun would make her feel better(does wonders for me) but she insists on closing the curtains. Is there an illness that matches these symptoms?

Hi, thanks for calling Health care magic forum.
You have reacted in the correct time , as it can lead to epilepsy, called photosensitive epilepsy. The treatment with anti epileptics relieves the photosensitivity and prevent epilepsy.
So i advise you to consult a neuro physician. You may need to have E.E.G. besides other tests for diagnosis.
Avoid direct sun light, T.V, and computer for prolonged periods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
