S8 EP10: SAD Sucks: What Can We Do?

Wintertime blues? If you feel down, low on energy, or unmotivated
during the winter months, it’s not just self sabotaging behavior
on your part, and it’s not just you either. Seasonal Affective
Disorder (SAD) – a form of depressive illness related to the
seasons, generally beginning in the fall and continuing
throughout the winter – affects around 10 million people in the
US and many more worldwide. However- it’s important to make the
distinction between SAD & plain old winter time blues, which
most people tend to experience during the dreary winter months.
