Seasonal Affective Disorder Therapy in Berkeley
Is it just the winter blues, or could it be something more?
If winter is leaving you feeling drained, unmotivated, or unusually low, you might be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It’s more than just “winter blues”—it’s a form of depression triggered by seasonal changes.
✨ Signs of SAD to Watch For:
Low mood or persistent sadness that’s hard to shake.
Loss of interest in things you enjoy, even your favorite winter activities.
Changes in sleep patterns, like oversleeping or struggling to wake up.
Low energy or fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest.
Cravings for carbs and significant weight changes.
Difficulty focusing or staying motivated.
Feeling isolated or withdrawn from friends and loved ones.
✨ What Can Help?
Try light therapy to mimic natural sunlight.
Move your body daily, even with gentle activity.
Stick to a consistent sleep schedule.
Talk to a trusted friend, counselor, or doctor about how you’re feeling.
SAD can feel isolating, but you’re not alone. Recognizing the signs is the first step toward getting the support and care you deserve. 🌟
