Today is World Ovarian Cancer Day. Ovarian cancer is the most common gynaecological cancer in Australia, yet early symptoms are often vague and easy to miss. Because ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at a later stage, it's important to know your body and report any unusual or persistent changes to your GP.

Your GP can discuss your risk factors, recommend screening options if appropriate, and help you stay on top of your health.

As daylight hours decrease, some people notice changes in mood, energy levels and sleep.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is thought to be linked to shorter days and reduced daylight, which can shift the body’s circadian rhythm (body clock). This may trigger chemical changes, including reduced levels of hormones such as melatonin (sleep) and serotonin (mood), affecting both sleep and mood.

SAD symptoms are often characterised by a recurring seasonal pattern.

Symptoms can last around 4–5 months, often starting mild and gradually worsening as the season progresses. As winter ends, symptoms typically ease and individuals return to their usual state of wellbeing.

If you’re experiencing ongoing changes to mood or energy, consider speaking with your GP.
