Winter Blues

Winter Blues, also known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is a type of depression that occurs at a specific time of year, usually during the winter months when daylight is shorter. Reduced sunlight can affect the body's internal clock and hormone levels, leading to feelings of sadness, fatigue, and low motivation. Common symptoms include changes in sleep, appetite, and energy levels. It is thought to be linked to the body's response to less natural light, and treatments may involve light therapy, counseling, or medication to help improve mood and energy during the darker months.
