As the days grow shorter and sunlight fades, many experience more than just the “winter blues.” Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern often starting in the fall and easing up in spring.
Reduced daylight can disrupt your body’s internal clock, alter serotonin levels, and affect melatonin production, all influencing mood and energy.
🌤️ Helpful approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), light therapy, speaking with a clinician, or exploring prescribed medication options. Planning ahead for seasonal changes can also make a big difference.
If your symptoms persist for more than two weeks, worsen over time, or include thoughts of self-harm, please reach out for help right away. You’re not alone, and support is available.
iRecovery offers year-round support for those struggling with depression, anxiety, and seasonal challenges.
