• W3008070903 abstract "WINTER FUNK. Seasonal affective disorder, also referred to as SAD, is an extreme form of the winter blues. It is a depression-related condition that occurs approximately the same time each year, entailing lethargy and diminished normal functioning. Although certain individuals may experience the symptoms of SAD during the summer, rather than the winter, the most common form of SAD begins gradually in late August or early September and continues until March or April. THE SAD TRUTH. With regard to suffering from this disorder, everyone is not equal. For example, age matters. As such, the most common age of the onset of SAD is 20 to 30 years old, with the risk increasing as a person ages. Gender also matters, with the condition diagnosed four times more often in women than men. In addition, genetics matter, given that SAD sometimes runs in families. Furthermore, geography matters. The risk of SAD rises the farther a person lives from the equator. A MIXED BAG. The specific cause of SAD, which affects more than 10 million Americans annually (which is more than five times the number of new cases of cancer in the United States each year), is unknown. Certain factors, however, have been found to come into play with regard to its level of incidence. For example, the diminished level of sunlight in the fall and winter may disrupt a person’s biological clock (circadian rhythm), leading to feelings of depression. A reduced level of sunlight also can cause a drop in serotonin (a brain chemical that affects mood) that may trigger depression. The change in season also can spark the body’s level of melatonin to fall, which can affect an individual’s sleep patterns and mood. MORE THAN A CASE OF THE BLAHS. Winter depression (SAD) can have extremely serious consequences in some instances. Not only can an individual feel very sedentary or sluggish, the symptoms can be severe enough to substantially affect a person in other negative ways, for example, mood changes (irritability, anxiety, and grief), alterations in appetite (cravings for alcohol and/or foods high in sugars and starches), social withdrawal, weight gain, oversleeping (hypersomnia), and low energy. LET THERE BE LIGHT. One of the most common treatments for SAD is light therapy. This modality, which has been found to be effective in many instances, entails having an individual sit near a special light that emits bright light for a certain amount of time every day, usually early in the morning. The underlying premise is that the light affects a person’s internal clock (circadian rhythm), thereby enhancing the production of the hormones melatonin and serotonin. LET THE SUN SHINE IN. Individuals who have SAD can help treat their condition by getting outside during the day and taking advantage of any available sunlight, for example, going for a short walk. Not only can sunlight, even in the small doses that winter provides, help boost serotonin levels, it can also improve a person’s mood. While outdoors, the individual should not wear sunglasses or stare directly at the sun. EAT WISELY. What a person eats can affect the degree to which a person can deal with the peaks and valleys attendant to SAD. For example, sweets and simple carbs, like white bread, can lead to a rapid rise in an individual’s blood sugar and insulin levels. Then, when they are all used up, the person spirals down to experiencing the symptoms associated with SAD. BE SOCIAL. Having relatively close relationships is crucial in reducing isolation and helping a person manage their SAD. As such, individuals with SAD need to consciously enhance their level of human connection, for example, by making an effort to reconnect or start new relationships, reaching out to family for help, and participating in social activities. GET MOVING. Adopt healthy behaviors. When a person feels healthy, they feel good. As such, exercising on a regular basis, especially outside in natural daylight, can boost serotonin and endorphins, as well as other feel-good brain chemicals. HOW DO I KNOW? SAD can be relatively difficult to distinguish from other psychological problems. As a rule, to be diagnosed with SAD, a person must have experienced depression, as well as some of its other symptoms, for at least two consecutive years during the same time frame. In addition, the bouts of depression have subsequently been followed by periods without depression, without other acceptable explanations for the changes in mood or behaviors." @default.
