☀️ December: Shining a Light on Seasonal Affective Disorder ❄️
As the days get shorter and the sunlight decreases, many people experience a noticeable shift in their mood, energy, and sleep patterns. SAD is a real and recurring form of depression that typically begins and ends at the same time every year.
Common signs of SAD include:
Persistent low mood or feeling "down."
Low energy and chronic fatigue.
Difficulty concentrating.
Changes in appetite or sleep patterns.
If you notice a consistent and heavy shift in your emotional health during the winter months, please know that you don't have to navigate this alone. Therapy, light therapy, and lifestyle adjustments can make a significant difference.
