Combatting Seasonal Depression with Mo Brossette
I'm sure you've heard of the 'winter blues', or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which are both a form of depression during the winter months. Causes of SAD come from the decrease in sunlight exposure. This causes your biological clock (circadian rhythm) to get disrupted and serotonin levels to drop, which can affect your mood. Mo Brossette talks with us today about how to take precautions to fight this type of depression.

There are so many aspects of the fall and winter that bring about happiness and joy. However, there is a lot that brings out sadness and loneliness. When your brain is not stimulated by colors and sunlight, it definitely has effect on your mood and emotions. Mo gives us practical ways to keep your mood in check, and stay away from this type of depression.
