Addressing Seasonal Affective Disorder
Have you noticed yourself feeling "down" or having the "winter blues" when the days get shorter in the fall and winter? Do you tend to feel better in the spring when longer daylight hours return? If you have noticed significant changes in your mood and behavior when the seasons change, you may be experiencing seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
NIMH has two publications available for resources about SAD. If you prefer watching or listening in, check out the recorded Facebook Live discussion on SAD with an NIMH expert. Additionally, view this Infographic or share it with a loved one this winter.
