Seasonal depression, also known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), “is a type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year. If you’re like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody,” according to the Mayo Clinic.
Seasonal depression occurs in climates that experience all four seasons and tends to run from late fall to early spring. However, this can vary depending on the person. With days being shorter and colder, people tend to spend more time inside and become less active. This can lead to symptoms such as, depression, oversleeping, social withdrawal, anxiety and irritability. While this is not a comprehensive list, these are few of the common signs that someone has SAD.
