Winter May Affect Your Moods.

 

Some may call it the winter blues but it’s also called Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD.  That’s when the changes in the seasons can impact our moods and trigger periods of depression.  Dr. Wallbridge Hall, Director of Psychological Services at the University of Manitoba explains how SAD is different from typical depression. He says basically it’s the same symptoms as depression you would normally get except where they have identified  that there’s a pattern to the symptoms that occur seasonally so for most people that would be an increase in depression symptoms in the fall and winter.

             

If the symptoms improve during the spring and summer, there’s a good chance it’s Seasonal Affective Disorder.  The disorder is treatable with a variety of therapies such as medication, psychotherapy or light therapy.
