Abstract in brief

Artificial light at night (LAN) may be linked to changes in mood and mental health, raising concerns about light pollution's harmful effects on populations.
The review analyzed nine studies, mostly showing a moderate connection between LAN exposure and increased risk of depression and other mental disorders, though more research is needed to confirm these findings.
Factors like socioeconomic status, noise, and pollution could influence the results, but current evidence suggests LAN might play a role in developing depressive symptoms and potentially other mental health issues.]
