Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons — seasonal affective disorder (SAD) begins and ends at about the same times every year. If you're like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. These symptoms often resolve during the spring and summer months. Less often, SAD causes depression in the spring or early summer and resolves during the fall or winter months.
Online Mental Health Support
The internet can be a way to understand your mental health condition or treatment, connect with others, or get therapy. Being online can let you explore things at your own pace, at a time that suits you and with total anonymity if that’s important to you.
