As daylight fades, many experience fatigue or low mood, but for millions, these symptoms signal seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a serious form of depression.
🌥 Reduced sunlight disrupts serotonin, melatonin, and the body’s circadian rhythm, leading to feelings of hopelessness, loss of interest, and sleep or appetite changes.
⚠ Experts warn that SAD can mirror major depressive disorder.
MDSC had a productive conversation yesterday with MP Ginette Petitpas Taylor about how community mental health organizations are vital to the future of our healthcare system.
Thank you for your commitment to improving mental health care.

The Defeat Depression campaign is a national fundraising campaign designed to allow individuals and organizations to raise funds in support of their local mental health programs and services. The campaign has grown into a national social movement bringing much needed funds and awareness of mental health issues while fighting mental health stigma one event at a time. Depression is a common illness affecting many individuals and families and strikes all socioeconomic, educational, and cultural backgrounds. Physical activity such as walking and running, along with social interaction, can have a positive effect on mental well-being, and opening the dialogue on mental illness can help educate people and break down the barrier of stigma. Funds raised at these events help community organizations provide critical support and services.
The objectives of the Defeat Depression national campaign are to:
Fundraise in support of mental health services
Raise awareness, knowledge and acceptance of mental illness
Reduce stigma and create an environment that encourages people to come forward for early intervention and treatment
Build a mental health network and increase collaboration across communities
Provide resources and supports for individuals living with mental illness and their families
Grow the campaign to new communities across Canada
You Can Help!
