If your “slowing down” feels more like shutting down, it might be time to check in.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, often beginning in the fall.

Research links SAD to reduced sunlight, circadian rhythm disruption, and shifts in serotonin and melatonin, which can affect energy, mood, and motivation.

Common signs include:
• Persistent low mood or mental fog
• Loss of interest in things you usually enjoy
• Oversleeping or waking unrested
• Fatigue or irritability
• More doom-scrolling or quiet withdrawal

The hopeful news: SAD responds well to the right kind of support.

🧪 Evidence shows that many people improve with light therapy, psychotherapy (especially CBT), antidepressant medication, vitamin D, and lifestyle adjustments that help regulate rhythm and connection.

💜 At Amethyst Therapy, our therapists work with these evidence-based approaches and tailor them to the person sitting in front of us, we don’t do “cookie cutter.”

We help you understand what’s happening in your body and mind, and support you in creating steadier routines, more emotional regulation, and skills that carry you through the darker months.

This is compassionate, collaborative work. And you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Self-care tips often sound simple.
Until they aren’t…

When energy, motivation, or hope fade, even the smallest steps like getting sunlight, reaching out, eating well, can feel impossible.

That’s not a personal failure. It’s a nervous system in survival mode.

When your body and brain are under chronic stress, they shift into conservation mode. The focus becomes surviving, not thriving.

Therapy can help you find the entry point that fits your real capacity (what’s actually possible today, not the ideal version of healing).

You deserve care that meets you where you are.

Part 1 of 3 - Every fall, many of us feel the change before we even notice the shorter days.

Fatigue, fog, irritability, low motivation, it’s not “all in your head.” It’s how the body responds to light.

Research shows that reduced sunlight shifts serotonin and melatonin balance, influencing energy, mood, and sleep.

For some, it’s a gentle pull to slow down. For others, it develops into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern.

Both experiences are valid. Both deserve care.

If this season feels harder to navigate, our team can help you understand what’s happening and find your footing again.
