As the days get darker, many people notice their mood dipping too. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more than “winter blues” – it’s a real type of depression. If this time of year feels heavier for you, you’re not alone. 💙

Here are 8 symptoms to be mindful and if things are feeling a little too much, remember it is OK to reach out for help.

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:

🔵 try some physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🔵 make the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🔵 plan for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks or building in more rest

There’s also treatment available if you’re finding things really tough – such as light therapy, talking therapies or medication.

The festive season is fast approaching 🎄Christmas can bring so much joy, but it can also be a time of huge stress. If you have any tips on how to cope through the festive period, when things get a bit too intense, pop them in the comments.

Although stress isn't a mental health condition, the two are closely related – stress can lead to poor mental health, and poor mental health can cause stress. Find out more about stress and how to look after yourself on our website💙
