โจ Seasonal Depression: What You Need to Know & What You Can Do โจ
As the days get shorter, many people experience a shift in mood, energy, and motivation.
This isnโt โjust the winter bluesโ โ it may be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern. ๐
๐ง๏ธ What You Need to Know:
โข Itโs linked to reduced sunlight, which affects mood-regulating chemicals in the brain
โข Common symptoms include low energy, sadness, oversleeping, cravings for carbs, and withdrawal from activities
โข Itโs more common in fall and winter, but some people experience it in spring or summer too
โข It is treatable and nothing to be ashamed of
๐ค๏ธ What You Can Do
โข Prioritize sunlight exposure (morning light is best!)
โข Build a steady routineโsleep, meals, movement
โข Stay socially connected, even when it feels hard
โข Try light therapy if recommended
โข Talk to a mental health professional for tailored tools and support
