What’s your SADs Plan?

Season Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of mood disorder where you experience new or worsening symptoms of depression during certain seasons. For many it happens in the Fall and Winter. The weather is gloomier and there are less light hours of the day. You could be experiencing this if you feel more down during the cold months. 


As we approach the winter months and are now in Fall, I want to ask what is your SADs plan? There are many ways you can be proactive to decrease or eliminate the symptoms of SAD. 


Here are some ways you can combat it this season:

• Get a Happy Light which is basically a lamp that mimics the rays of the sun
• Take a vitamin supplement (talk to your doctor about which would be best)
• Eat healthy, vitamin rich foods
• Exercise (especially if its a sunny day go outside)
• Start going to therapy or increase the frequency that you go to therapy

What will your plan be?
