For some people, symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can feel more noticeable or harder to manage during the winter.

But small things can help:

๐Ÿ”ต try some physical activity โ€“ anything that gets you moving
๐Ÿ”ต make the most of natural light โ€“ getting outside or sitting near windows
๐Ÿ”ต plan for tougher days โ€“ shifting stressful tasks or building in more rest

Thereโ€™s also treatment available if youโ€™re finding things really tough โ€“ such as light therapy, talking therapies or medication.

Search โ€˜NHS SADโ€™ to find out more.
