Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern. While SAD is most prevalent during the darker winter months, it impacts some individuals during the summer, and, in contrast, they feel better in winter.
Symptoms of SAD include low moods, feelings of worthlessness, lack of interest in everyday activities, and even gaining weight through unhealthy eating habits. In some cases, the effects of SAD can be severe, leading to people seeking professional support.
