Many people encounter seasonal affective disorder (SAD) in the fall or winter months as seasons change. In this episode, Dr. Sharon shares her experience working with clients who have experienced SAD, a form of depression that can affect mood, sleep, and energy levels.
While the cause isn't known, there are some risk factors may contribute to experiencing SAD that you can be aware of. Dr. Sharon encourages listeners who feel they may be experiencing symptoms of SAD to connect with professional medical assistance for an evaluation to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Sharon outlines typical symptoms, a variety of treatment options, and next steps, including the importance of creating a healthy self-care plan that includes stress management as we move into the holiday season.
