Today on the podcast, we’re talking about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is a type of depression that’s linked to changes in the seasons. It most commonly shows up during the winter months when there’s less sunlight, with January and February being the hardest months, and affects about 5% of adults in the U.S. each year. There’s also a milder form called subsyndromal SAD, or S-SAD, referred to as the “winter blues”. So even if you don’t have a formal diagnosis, you might experience some version of what we’re discussing today. We discuss why you might experience SAD, what the common symptoms are, and what you can do to support yourself.
