What is Seasonal Affective Disorder?

You may have heard the term ‘winter blues’ or ‘seasonal depression during the winter season. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same time every year. If you’re like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. Less often, SAD causes depression in the spring or early summer.

For most people, SAD kicks in late fall and can last until the spring. It can affect everyone a little differently, but common symptoms include:

• Depression
• Fatigue
• Low energy
• Social withdrawal
• Hopelessness
• Sudden changes in weight
• Decreased interest in normal activities
