What is Seasonal Depression and How Do I Get out of the Slump?
News

Winter can be a difficult time for many people. Cold weather, short days, and decreased social activity can all take their toll, and it is normal to experience fatigue, loss of interest, and anxiety. Some people, however, experience symptoms that are more severe, like depression and even thoughts of suicide.
Seasonal depression and flares in existing mental illnesses may be classified as seasonal affective disorder (SAD) by a counselor or psychologist. SAD requires specialized treatment to help those who suffer from its effects.
