🕯️ Preventing Seasonal Affective Disorder: Your Fall & Winter Wellness Guide
As the days grow shorter and the weather turns cooler, many people begin to notice changes in their mood and energy. If you find yourself feeling more tired, down, or withdrawn during the winter months, you may be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) — a common and treatable type of depression linked to reduced sunlight exposure.
At Mood Wellness Psychiatry and Wellness Clinic, we believe prevention starts with awareness. Here are a few strategies to help keep your mood steady this season:
🌞 Let in the light. Open your blinds early, spend time outdoors during daylight hours, and consider using a light therapy lamp that mimics natural sunlight.
🏃♀️ Keep moving. Exercise boosts endorphins and helps regulate sleep and energy levels — even short walks make a difference.
🥦 Eat to feel good. Fuel your body with nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and omega-3s to support brain health.
🧘 Stay connected. Schedule regular check-ins with friends and family, and practice relaxation techniques such as meditation or journaling.
💬 Seek support early. If low mood, fatigue, or motivation loss persist, reach out for professional help. Evidence-based treatments — including therapy, medication, and light therapy — can help you feel better faster.
