STAY AWARE: Seasonal Affective Disorder

Shorter days and less sunlight can have a big impact on your mood and energy, sometimes leading to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Try these simple tips to stay balanced and boost wellbeing as the seasons change:

•   Seek natural light. Spend time near sunny windows or take short midday walks.
•   Stay connected. Keep social plans on the calendar, even when it’s tempting to stay in.
•   Move your body. Regular activity supports both mood and sleep.
•   Consider light therapy. Talk to your doctor about lamps that mimic natural sunlight.
•   Eat with mood in mind. Omega-3s and Vitamin D help support emotional wellbeing.

Reminder: If mood changes persist, reach out to your doctor to discuss your options.
