The NHS believe 1 in 5 suffer from the condition
As the colder months draw in and the darker evenings fall upon us, it is very natural to feel a dip in mood or lower energy levels than usual,
Many factors contribute towards this change. Evidence shows that many people find their mood naturally dips during the darker months. This is due to the change in weather, shorter days and reduction in sunlight. This can be clinically referred to as Seasonal Depression or SAD and the national health service estimates that 1 in 15 people across the UK suffer from this seasonal disorder, many of which remain undiagnosed.Seasonal depression is associated with autumn and winter. It can make the months ahead challenging, therefore it is important to learn how to spot the signs early, implementing ways to support your wellbeing.
The lower light levels throughout these months can lower the production of our serotonin levels. Serotonin is the hormone that affects your mood, appetite and sleep. Therefore if you feel an extreme change to any of these, it might be best to speak with your GP. As we are tipping into the autumn/winter months, it may be a good idea to act now if you feel you struggle with seasonal depression.There is no way to prevent seasonal depression, however with the right considerations, some self-compassion and early intervention you can soften your symptoms. So if you feel you may be prone to seasonal depression, speak to those around you. Give some consideration to lifestyle changes and if feelings persist, speak to your GP.
