Picture
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more than just the "winter blues." It is a recognized form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, primarily affecting people during the fall and winter months when the days are shorter, and the light is less direct. Common symptoms of SAD include:
- Feeling depressed most of the day, nearly every day
- Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed
- Having low energy
- Experiencing changes in sleep patterns (usually sleeping too much)
- Changes in appetite or weight (often craving carbohydrates)
- Feeling sluggish or agitated
- Having difficulty concentrating
- Feeling hopeless, worthless, or guilty
