Are You Suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)? - Dr. Jim Collins

It’s that time of year again where the days are short and darker and the nights are long.

Seasonal affective disorder is a form or recurring major depressive disorder that has a seasonal pattern that begins in the fall and extends throughout the winter months. To be diagnosed, an individual would have to experience specific symptoms at least two years in a row and have more seasons with depression than not over one’s lifetime.
