Seasonal Affective Disorder, often called SAD is a real condition where normal people, just like you and me, start to feel down and somewhat depressed. It affects millions of people each year. It’s mostly due to the lack of sunlight. Light is known to increase serotonin levels which make us feel up-beat and happy. When the days are dark, rainy, or cloudy for long periods of time, this condition may start or worsen. Phototherapy is a great way to combat SAD, so talk to your doctor about your options. Also, be sure to supplement you Vitamin D in the fall and winter months. Some people refer to vitamin D as sunshine in a bottle.
