Seasonal Changes and Seasonal Depression
As the cold winter season hits in Ontario have you noticed a change in your mood, behaviour, and even motivation? Don’t we all wish we could be in the warm summer heat, enjoying 20-degree weather and feeling the hot sun hit our faces? As the negative temperatures creep in, let me tell you… you are not alone! Seasonal depression, or otherwise known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), affects a low percentage of people and can be more common in the fall and winter months as seasons and temperatures change. However, you can have symptoms in the summer months as well.
Symptoms / Signs of Seasonal Depression or (SAD)
Feelings of sadness
