Seasonal Affective Disorder

As the darker nights draw in and the days feel shorter, it can have a significant impact on our mood. Some people find this time of year challenging and may develop seasonal affective disorder (SAD). 

While many people refer to SAD as the “winter blues”, there’s more to it than that. Symptoms may start off mild and get progressively worse as you move further into the season.
Symptoms may include:
💤 Sleeping more than usual or low energy
😖 Feeling irritable, anxious, or hopeless
😪 Loss of interest in activities that used to bring joy
🥔 Increased appetite or cravings for carbs
😵‍💫 Trouble focusing and concentrating

How to ease it:
🏋🏻‍♀ Staying active to get them endorphins
🥑 Having a healthy diet for a healthy mind
☀ Stepping outside to get some sun
💊 Getting a boost of Vitamin D
👩‍❤️‍👩 Staying connected with loved ones

The important thing to remember if you are suffering from SAD is that you are not alone.
