3. What is Seasonal Affective
Disorder?
What is seasonal depression and how does it affect
us? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a kind of
depression that often starts in the late fall and the
early winter. This is called winter-pattern SAD or
winter depression and is a large part of why mental
health awareness in December is important.

4. Symptoms of Seasonal
Depression
It is very common that winter-pattern SAD is
confused with “holiday blues”. This is because
there is a lot of stress and changes that come
with holidays such as time off work and school,
different schedules, different priorities and so
on. During this time many people experience
temporary or intermittent dips of their
emotions. However, these emotions are
brought on by predictable holiday related
changes. SAD is caused by changes in the
amount of daylight.
