What is Seasonal Affective Disorder? What is seasonal depression and how does it affect us? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a kind of depression that often starts in the late fall and the early winter. This is called winter-pattern SAD or winter depression and is a large part of why mental health awareness in December is important.
Symptoms of Seasonal Depression It is very common that winter-pattern SAD is confused with “holiday blues”. This is because there is a lot of stress and changes that come with holidays such as time off work and school, different schedules, different priorities and so on. During this time many people experience temporary or intermittent dips of their emotions. However, these emotions are brought on by predictable holiday related changes. SAD is caused by changes in the amount of daylight.
