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.

After 37 years of dedication to general practice and Pelham Medical, Dr David Elder has decided to call it a day and hang up his stethoscope.
Dr Elder has dedicated his career to serving our local population and has demonstrated a commitment to providing a high standard of medical care for patients. He has been pivotal in the development of the practice and is regarded for being very supportive to staff, colleagues and popular with patients. He is a widely respected clinician, good humoured, and self-effacing.
Dr Elder’s last working day at the practice will be Thursday 27th November 2025. His presence will most certainly be missed. If you would like to wish him well and pass on your thanks, please feel free to email into the practice: enquiries.pelham@nhs.net
