If you often feel the winter blues, it may be more than normal sadness. While some welcome the change in seasons and the fresh snow of winter, others find themselves falling into feelings of depression. But this isn’t just short-lived “winter blues” or feeling sad that the sun is setting so early. Rather, seasonal affective disorder (or seasonal depression) is a serious mental health concern that affects your mood, your health, and your stress levels. So let’s explore the psychology behind this mood disorder and shed a little light (pun intended) on different therapies used to treat it!
