Is Seasonal Affective Disorder Real?

Winter can seem very long in norther

climes.

 

And also a little depressing.

For the longest time there has

been discussion about Seasonal

Affective Disorder as contributing

to depression, and possibly

suicide.

 

To me it seems that the winter

manifests itself in a variety of

ways for different people.

 

Some people thrive on the

cold weather, and are not

particularly bothered by the

darkness.

 

Others find the prolonged darkness

of winter weather to be a disturbing

facet of northern climes.

 

Some people I have know have tried

using a light box and have experienced

great success and great improvement

in their emotions.

 

For anyone who is concerned that this

might be a problem they are experiencing,

I would certainly encourage you to

investigate this treatment if your health

care professional concurs.
