Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that follows a seasonal pattern. Typically, SAD is most common during the winter months when it gets dark earlier and we tend to spend more time indoors. Keep in mind, SAD symptoms can be overlooked since symptoms can look similar to those behaviors a teen might develop in the teenage years. If you’re noticing a change in behavior or mood it’s important to uncover the cause and learn more about how to support your teen when experiencing depression.

Screens calm children fast. One video, one game, one scroll, and the stress melts away. For a tired or overwhelmed child, that relief feels instant and powerful.

The problem is what comes after. The brain gets used to fast rewards. Real life moves slower. Homework, meals, conversation, and play can start to feel boring, irritating, or overwhelming. When screens stop, emotions often surge. Children may become restless, angry, tearful, or shut down. This is not bad behaviour. It is a nervous system struggling to cope without quick comfort.

This pattern shows up in many children and young people. It is common in children with anxiety, ADHD, ASD, sensory sensitivities, or emotional regulation difficulties. It also affects children who spend all day holding it together and using their energy to cope. Their behaviour is communication, not defiance.

What helps is not blame or constant battles over screen time. Children need connection, movement, outdoor time, creativity, and shared moments with calm adults. Slower activities help the brain reset and relearn how to cope with everyday life.

When adults understand this, responses change. Less punishment. More support. Less conflict. More connection.
