What is S.A.D?
S.A.D stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. It is characterized by a depressive state in colder months. S.A.D is a reality that is especially important in today’s current situation facing COVID-19.
The cause of S.A.D is primarily linked to shorter daylight hours, resulting in a shift in our biological internal clocks. While we can’t control seasons or current pandemics, there are many options to deal with S.A.D.
Tips on dealing with S.A.D include:
• Counselling & therapy
• Light therapy
• Regular sleep schedule
• Regular exercise
Examples can include:
• Going for a walk during the day,
• Installing bright lights
• Booking an appointment with a therapist.
