Fall has officially been here for a few weeks now! While it’s nice to cozy up with a warm cup of cider or stroll through paths of colorful foliage, the often gloomy days can affect our mood. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that usually comes around in the fall and winter months. The Mayo Clinic notes that SAD often persists by “sapping your energy and making you feel moody.” According to the Mayo Clinic, fall and winter SAD may include oversleeping, appetite changes, weight gain, and tiredness or low energy. It’s important to note that SAD can also appear in the spring and summer and may include symptoms like trouble sleeping (insomnia), poor appetite, weight loss, agitation or anxiety, and increased irritability. Luckily, there are wellness practices that can help manage symptoms by taking care of your mind and body.
