November 24, 2020

If you find yourself getting low during the winter, you might be experiencing SAD aka seasonal affective disorder. According to Psychology Today, it affects over 10 million Americans per year. Although there isn't a proven cause of this condition, many theories claim that SAD is due to low sunlight exposure.

In this episode I share:

- What is SAD & what age + gender experience it most
- Differences between SAD & depression
