Let's talk about
Seasonal Affective Disorder
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs at certain times of the year, most commonly in winter. It is linked to reduced sunlight exposure, which can affect mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. While many people experience lower energy levels during colder months, SAD can cause significant distress and impact daily life.
Key characteristics of Seasonal Affective Disorder include:
Persistent low mood, fatigue, and lack of motivation.
Increased sleep and difficulty waking up.
Changes in appetite, often craving carbohydrates.
Difficulty concentrating or feeling withdrawn from social activities.
With the right support, Seasonal Affective Disorder therapy can help individuals manage symptoms and regain control over their well-being.
WHAT DOES SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER FEEL LIKE?
SAD can feel like an overwhelming sense of tiredness, sadness, or demotivation that returns year after year. Many people describe feeling emotionally drained and struggling to get through daily tasks during the darker months.
The experience of Seasonal Affective Disorder may include:
Feeling low, unmotivated, or emotionally exhausted.
Sleeping excessively but still feeling tired.
Difficulty focusing or feeling disconnected from normal routines.
A strong desire to withdraw from social interactions.
While SAD can be frustrating, recognising the seasonal pattern is the first step toward finding effective treatment.
HOW TO OVERCOME SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER WITH THERAPY
Therapy is an effective way to manage SAD by addressing mood changes and developing coping strategies. Seasonal Affective Disorder counselling can help individuals build resilience and improve well-being during affected months.
