Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern.SAD is sometimes known as "winter depression" because the symptoms are usually more apparent and more severe during the winter.
Many people do not realise they have it. Colder and longer nights can affect it.
Some medical conditions like diabetes or thyroid related can trigger it.
Symptoms of SAD
Symptoms of SAD can include:
a persistent low mood
a loss of pleasure or interest in normal everyday activities
irritability
feelings of despair, guilt and worthlessness
feeling lethargic (lacking in energy) and sleepy during the day
sleeping for longer than normal and finding it hard to get up in the morning
craving carbohydrates and gaining weight
difficulty concentrating
decreased sex drive
For some people, these symptoms can be severe and have a significant impact on their day-to-day activities.
Coffee and spirituality can help and both are a good combination.
