Seasonal depression, or seasonal affective disorder (SAD), typically emerges during the winter months, triggered by reduced natural sunlight, impacting many on various levels.
Common symptoms of seasonal depression include low energy, changes in appetite, irritability, disrupted sleep patterns, and persistent sadness, affecting overall well-being.
Dr. Melissa Oleshansky suggests that exposing oneself to natural light as early as possible helps regulate circadian rhythms, enhancing mood and energy levels.
Natural light exposure boosts serotonin production, significantly improving mood, even on cold or cloudy days, making it a crucial strategy against seasonal depression.
