Understanding Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):

​

Seasonal Affective Disorder, commonly referred to as SAD, is a type of depression that occurs cyclically with the changing seasons. It is characterized by the onset of depressive symptoms during specific times of the year, typically during fall and winter months when daylight hours are shorter. SAD can significantly impact your mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. However, the good news is that with proper diagnosis and treatment, individuals with SAD can find relief and regain control over their lives.

​

Recognizing the Symptoms:

​

Recognizing the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder is essential in understanding and managing this condition effectively. The symptoms of SAD often manifest during the same time each year and may include:

​

1. Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or irritability

2. Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed

3. Fatigue, low energy, or excessive sleepiness

4. Changes in appetite, particularly craving for carbohydrates

5. Weight gain or weight loss

6. Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things

7. Social withdrawal or decreased interest in social interactions

8. Feelings of heaviness or sluggishness in the limbs

 

If you experience these symptoms during the same season every year, it's important to seek professional evaluation to determine whether you have Seasonal Affective Disorder.
