Feeling the winter blues? ❄️ Not sure if it's Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or Depression?

Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD) might look and feel like depression (feeling down, sad, unmotivated, or tired, having trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating)..... but with SAD these symptoms improve or disappear entirely during the spring and summer when there’s more sunlight. 🌤️

(Whereas If you notice that you're feeling these symptoms in the summer or they feel more severe, it may be major depressive disorder.)
