Are you having fall and winter mood changes?

Does your mood dip when the days get shorter? Is it just winter blues, or Seasonal Affective Disorder - SAD?

SAD symptoms can include fatigue, increased appetite and weight gain, depressed mood, oversleeping, social withdrawal, trouble concentrating and irritability.

Treatment for SAD typically involves:

Light therapy: Exposure to bright light, either from a light box or outdoors. Watching the sunrise and watching the sunset can also increase serotonin levels and improve mood.

Antidepressant medication.

Psychotherapy: Talk therapy can help relieve symptoms and teach coping strategies.

Lifestyle changes: Working out 150 minutes per week, eating a Mediterranean diet, and getting enough sleep.

Positive self-talk: starting each day with gratitude and a positive attitude.

I’d like to hear from you on this topic!
Thanks!
