Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression defined by a reoccurring seasonal pattern highlighted by mood changes, irritability, helplessness, pessimism, persistent sadness, decreased energy, hypersomnia, overeating, seasonal hibernation, aggressive behavior, reduced work or school performance, and family history. Millions of Americans (more women than men and more younger people than older adults) experience SAD.
While many people believe it is a "winter-only" condition, it can surface in late spring into summer and late fall into and through the winter. Summer SAD is often related to the heat and humidity in scorching areas for months at a time. The heat can feel unavoidable for those prone to summer SAD.
This podcast addresses SAD with the most current clinical information on definition, signs and symptoms, geography, family history, diagnostics, causes, and treatment. Listeners will also learn about light therapy, antidepressant medication, psychotherapy, Vitamin D, substance abuse risks, and the plausibility of preventing SAD.
