Seasonal affective disorder , or SAD , is a form of mood disorder or depression directly affected by the seasons . Sufferers of SAD find that their emotional state is quite normal during the summer months, but as the days grow shorter, colder and greyer during the autumn and winter , their moods seem to match the seasons. The seriousness of SAD can range from the mild ennui of dysthymia to a serious attack of clinical depression , which can require hospitalization. It is believed that SAD is related to a lack of serotonin and that exposure to full-spectrum artificial light may improve the condition by stimulating seratonin production. Light therapy appears to be effective in treating SAD, but the exact mechanism of the effect is still unknown. Full Spectrum bulbs and "sunlight lamps" can be purchased as specialty lighting products for those suffering from SAD. One recent trial seemed to indicate that shining a bright light behind the sufferers' knees would be beneficial, but when the trial was duplicated on a larger scale, the results were negative. edit http://www.mentalhealth.com/book/p40-sad.html

References Physicians recorded seasonal depressions as early as Aretaeus and Hippocrates. More recently, patients with regular seasonal depressions were coined as having Seasonal affective disorder (SAD). SAD is described as a subtype of affective disorder (mood disorder) with a seasonal pattern usually in the winter when sufferers experience clinical depression and has a greater prevalence in countries with greater northern latitude. There is some evidence to suggest the existence of a recurrent depression that occurs in summer The term SAD was invented by Rosenthal et al in 1984 with the criteria shown below: 1) A history of major affective disorder, according to Research Diagnostic Criteria (Spitzer et al 1978) 2) At least two consecutive previous years in which the depressions developed during fall or winter and remitted by the following spring or summer 3) Absence of any other Axis I DSM-III psychiatric disorder (American Psychiatric Association 1980) 4) Absence of any clear-cut seasonally changing psychosocial variables that would account for the seasonal variability in mood and behaviour Now the diagnostic term is included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association. The DSM-IV is one of two standard diagnostic manuals used by psychiatrists for diagnosis, the other one being the International Classification of Diseases, currently in its 10

Extractions: What is seasonal affective disorder? Seasonal affective disorder (also called SAD) is a kind of depression that follows the seasons. The most common type of SAD is called winter depression. It usually begins in late fall or early winter and goes away by summer. A less common type of SAD, known as summer depression, begins in the late spring or early summer. SAD may be related to changes in the amount of daylight we get. Do many people get SAD? About 4 to 6 percent of people may have winter depression. Another 10 to 20 percent may have mild SAD. SAD is four times more common in women than in men. Although some children and teenagers get SAD, it usually doesn't start in people younger than age 20. Your chance of getting SAD goes down as you get older. SAD is also more common the farther north you go. For example, it's seven times more common in Washington state than in Florida.

Help your child with these tips. Introduction When I was young, I read a book written by Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. Nehru had spent a lot of time in prison during India's struggle for independence. One particularly striking passage in his autobiography recalls Nehru sitting in the cell, a very small cubicle with no lights (probably lit with a kerosene lamp), looking at the trees outside through the tiny prison window. The prison was in north India. The trees have shed all their leaves for the winter. The days were very short. Nehru was feeling "very sad". He decides to write a letter to his only daughter which later became "Discovery of India".
SAD, The Discontent Of Our Winter - How To Beat Seasonal Affective Disorder

Extractions: How to Beat Seasonal Affective Disorder By: John Shepler Sadness. It's a dark, gloomy sea of gray this winter's dayagain. And you're wondering why you're too depressed to sing the blues? Perhaps it's the end of the holiday season. Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year's. All gone but the bills. Yet, it seems like we've been off our energy peaks for months. Oh, it's true. There really is something to the winter doldrums. But surprisingly it has little to do with the cold, the dampness, the end of the festivities, or even that eye-popping credit card bill. It has everything to do with solar energy. If someone tells you to "lighten up" in the midst of the gloom, it's probably good advice. But how? The SAD Truth of the Matter Poets and writers have clued us into the idea that something is different and downcast about the late fall and wintertime. The trees are barren, the landscape is uniformly drab, the clouds are thick and the air chills you to the bone. What they may have glossed over is the diminishing light and how dramatically that can affect the way people feel, regardless of whether it is hot or cold or what the foliage is doing. A South African doctor, Norman E. Rosenthal, started making the connection between moods and the seasons in the mid 1970's and even considered writing a novel that would emphasize the changing moods of his character as the seasons transitioned. But when he moved to New York in 1979, he really got a shock. The shortness of the winter days compared to those in South Africa had a profound effect on his energy levels, which didn't abate until spring. Dr. Rosenthal took a research fellowship at the National Institute of Mental Health to study how brain chemistry varied with moods. The research was showing that bright light affected the chemistry of the brain, particularly the secretion of melatonin at night. Changing brain chemistry translated into physical symptoms that affected mood, appetite, ability to sleep, and even sociability.

Seasonal affective (or mood) disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs at particular times. For most sufferers of SAD, symptoms get worse in the autumn and winter when the days are shorter, and clear up in spring and summer. People are more vulnerable to SAD the further away they live from the equator as daylight hours become fewer. What causes SAD and who is at risk? The exact mechanism of SAD is unknown, although there are many theories. SAD may be related to changes in the amount of daylight during the autumn and winter months. One theory suggests that people with SAD respond to this decrease in light by secreting a hormone called melatonin which slows down the body clock, and affects sleeping and mood patterns. Another theory, which is gaining popularity, involves chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine or serotonin, which play a role in controlling sleeping, eating and moods. It is thought that people with SAD may have abnormal levels of these chemicals. A third theory proposes that people with SAD may have a lower eye sensitivity to light.

SAD most often begins in the fall or winter and then subsides in the spring. It sometimes is called the "winter blues" because most people with seasonal affective disorder have an episode of depression during the winter months, although it is possible to experience SAD during summer months. A diagnosis of SAD is made when a pattern of depression and remission from depression is present for at least two consecutive years. What are the symptoms of SAD?
