Winter seems to be approaching quickly (and feels like it's here already some days). This change of seasons can be challenging especially when daylight becomes scarce. For some, this seasonal shift brings more than just a passing sense of gloom. Understanding the difference between winter blues and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is crucial in managing these feelings effectively.

Many people experience the “winter blues”, a mild depression noted for lack of motivation and low energy. For some, it’s more severe, termed Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD affects 2-3% of the population and women more than men. Unlike occasional glumness, SAD is a subtype of major depression with seasonal onset. Symptoms start in autumn, last through winter, and lift as spring arrives.

SAD symptoms mirror major depressive episodes. You might feel persistently sad, lose interest in activities, and face changes in appetite, often craving carbs. Sleep patterns shift too, with increased sleep being common. Other symptoms include:

- Loss of energy
- Difficulty concentrating
- Thoughts of death or su***de

Diagnosis involves meeting certain criteria, including changes in mood and daily function. A detailed description of symptoms’ timing and type helps a doctor identify SAD. Blood or skin prick tests may also be used to determine underlying conditions.

If the winter blues are affecting you, or your family, book a GP Appointment on our website today or call us on 0203 5560367.

Suffering from headaches? While occasional headaches are common, when a headache disrupts your daily activities or comes with additional symptoms, it requires medical attention.

Severe headaches can indicate serious conditions and should not be taken lightly, especially when accompanied by symptoms such as a stiff neck, high fever, or confusion. While not every severe headache signals a life-threatening condition, it’s important to be cautious.

Can doctors remove skin tags?

Skin tags are generally harmless and not painful, although they can become irritated if they are rubbed or caught on clothing or jewellery. Skin tags are more common in people as they age, and factors like genetics, obesity, and conditions like diabetes may increase their likelihood.

If you want a skin tag removed, it can be done through various methods like cryotherapy (freezing), cauterisation (burning), or excision (cutting it off). These procedures are typically quick and safe.

Do you have a persistent cough?

A cough lasting more than eight weeks could indicate an underlying health issue. Possible causes include Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Asthma, Post-viral cough, Lung cancer, or other infections or inflammations.

Seeking medical advice is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment. Your GP may perform tests or refer you to a specialist to understand your condition better. Remember, a persistent cough is your body signalling that something may be amiss. Acting early can ensure better health outcomes.

If you have any concerns, book a GP appointment with us today.
