Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects seniors significantly due to factors like reduced sunlight, isolation, and chronic illnesses, causing symptoms like persistent sadness, fatigue, sleep changes, appetite shifts, and loss of interest in activities, requiring strategies like light therapy, maintaining social connections, safe exercise, and professional help for treatment.
Why Seniors Are More Vulnerable
๐นReduced Sunlight Exposure: Limited mobility, winter weather, or being housebound restricts time outdoors.
๐ธSocial Isolation: Seniors are more prone to loneliness, which intensifies SAD.
๐นChronic Health Issues: Underlying illnesses can worsen symptoms or limit activities.
๐ธVitamin D Deficiency: Common in older adults, it links to depressed mood.
