Welcome back my lovely listeners to this last episode of season three, where your host will be talking about Seasonal affective disorder also known as SAD this is a type of depression which is usually more severe during the winter months, and I found it very fitting due to the time of this recording that for most us the autumn months are upon us.

The main treatments are:

• light therapy – where a special lamp called a light box is used to simulate exposure to sunlight
• talking therapies – such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or counselling
