I often feel sad when I am left on my own, when my dinner does not arrive on time or when I am told ‘no Ted do not chase that cat’…

But I have learned that being a bit disappointed that my life doesn’t go the way I prescribe it is very different from suffering from seasonal affective disorder - or SAD

SAD is a type of depression that occurs at a particular time of year, most commonly during the autumn and winter months when daylight hours are shorter.

It is also known as seasonal depression and can have an impact on your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy levels, affecting all aspects of your life, from work to your relationships and social life.

People with SAD may experience symptoms such as persistent low mood, irritability, loss of interest in everyday activities, and changes in sleep and appetite patterns.

You may feel completely different than you did in the summer months. You are not alone…
