    Extractions: Winter's early darkness is a leading cause of Seasonal Affective Disorder. Seasonal Affective Disorder , or SAD, is a pattern of significant depressive episodes that occur, then disappear with the change of seasons One person in five will experience a depressive episode in his or her life, but only five percent of the population suffers from full-blown SAD. Another ten to twenty percent of the population suffers from at least some of the symptoms of SAD. A distinct subtype of recurrent depressive illness, SAD differs from other forms of mental illness (such as unipolar and bipolar depression SAD patients manifest many of the same symptoms as those who suffer from other types of depression, including negative feelings about the past, present and future, excessive sleep, increased appetite, mood swings and irritability, and impaired memory and concentration. Depressive episodes often impair the patient's ability to work or function fully in family or social settings. Also, like more generalized depression, women are more likely to suffer from SAD than men. Studies show that women are twice as likely to be

    Extractions: The Winter Blues Excerpts from Winter Blues SAD ? - Test Yourself Buy this Book How Seasonal are You? Most people are seasonal, though some are more so than others. In fact, over 90 percent of all those who responded to a survey conducted in Maryland, about thirty-nine degrees north, reported that they felt some difference in mood, energy, or behavior with the change of seasons. In Chapter 3 of The Winter Blues , you will see how to determine how seasonal you are by means of the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ). Question 2 of the SPAQ is reproduced below. No Change Slight Change Moderate Change Marked Change Extremely Marked Change A. Sleep Length B. Social Activity C. Mood (overall feeling of well being) D. Weight E. Appetite F. Energy Level Your Score Because your browser is not JavaScript enabled, the score cannot be calculated. To derive your overall seasonality score, calculate your score for all six items, for a possible range of to 24. This overall seasonality score can be expected to vary according to where you live. For example, the same person who has a very high seasonality score during years spent in Alaska is likely to find the score greatly reduced after living for several years in Hawaii. Likewise, treatment with light therapy or antidepressants is also likely to reduce one's overall seasonality score. In general, the six functions measured vary seasonally most markedly in SAD patients, but also in those less severely affected and in the general population. The extent to which they vary is reflected in the overall seasonality score.

    Extractions: "The pain of depression, anxiety and other emotional disturbances is as real as physical pain. It deserves to be understood, studied, treated, healed, and reimbursed by insurance just like the pain of any other illness." Norman E. Rosenthal Through his research, writings, speaking engagements and private practice, Dr. Norman Rosenthal has been the voice of hope for those suffering from depression and emotional distress. His pioneeering work in the field of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and phototherapy created a revolution in the identification and treatment of seasonal depression. In his Private Practice, Dr. Rosenthal works with many different treatment modalities, both conventional and complementary. These include pharmacological approaches (He is a member of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology), different forms of psychotherapy and a range of "alternative" treatments, many of which have a solid scientific basis. He maintains that when it comes to treating emotional difficulties, there is no single solution that is right for everyone and tries to customize his approach to each individual's issues and needs.

Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression that tends to occur (and recur) as the days grow shorter in the fall and winter. It is believed that affected persons react adversely to the decreasing amounts of light and the colder temperatures as the fall and winter progress. Seasonal affective disorder has not been recognized very long as a medical condition. The term first appeared in print in 1985. Seasonal affective disorder is also sometimes called winter depression, winter blues, or the hibernation reaction. The incidence of seasonal affective disorder increases in people who are living farther away from the equator. Seasonal affective disorder is less common where there is snow on the ground. Seasonal affective disorder is more common in women than men. Persons of all ages can develop seasonal affective disorder. What are the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder?

    Extractions: Further information ‘For years I suffered from depression. It started in the autumn, as the evenings drew in. By Christmas, I would be so low that I could barely get out of bed. I couldn’t cope with organising the celebrations, so we used to go to my mother-in-law’s. One year, I felt so bad that I went to bed on Christmas Eve and refused to move... That’s what made me realise there was something seriously wrong.’ Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), or ‘winter depression’, may affect as many as a third of us, but the problem often goes undiagnosed. For a smaller number, it can be seriously disabling. This booklet is for anyone who wants to know how seasonal changes in light levels affect behaviour or mood, and what can be done about it. Why do we have seasonal mood changes?

    Extractions: Disorder (SAD) Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs at the same time each year (usually winter) for at least 2 years in a row. 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. SAD consists of four central features: People with SAD who have episodes of depression in the winter usually live in areas far north of the equator, where there are shorter days in the winter months (such as Alaska and other northern states in the United States, as well as Canada and Scandinavian countries). They begin to get symptoms of depression in the fall, need treatment throughout the winter, and get better in the spring and summer as the days lengthen. Less is known about seasonal affective disorder in which episodes of depression occur in the summer. Symptoms of summer SAD usually appear in late spring or early summer and resolve in the fall. Summer SAD may be related to excessive heat rather than a lack of light. A person with summer SAD may be irritable or have no energy.

But after the Thanksgiving break, she began to have trouble getting through her assigned reading and had to work harder to apply herself. She couldn't concentrate in class, and after school all she wanted to do was sleep. Her grades began to drop, and she rarely felt like socializing anymore. Even though Maggie was always punctual before, she began to have trouble getting up on time for school and was absent or late many days during the winter. At first, Maggie's parents thought she was slacking off. They were upset with her, but they figured it was just a phase - especially because her energy finally seemed to return in the spring. But when the same thing happened the following November, and Maggie's mood and her grades plummeted again, they took Maggie to the doctor, who diagnosed her with a type of depression called seasonal affective disorder, or SAD.

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression whose onset typically begins in late fall as daylight hours get shorter. It begins to lift as spring approaches with daylight hours growing longer. To be properly diagnosed as SAD, an individual must have experienced seasonal depression for at least two consecutive years. SAD can be a complicated diagnosis as the individual may have other depressive or anxiety disorders. SAD is seen more often in women, while children and adolescents are less likely to experience SAD. It has not yet been demonstrated that SAD runs in families, but depression, in general, often does. Usually SAD symptoms are not as severe as a non-seasonal major depression, and they are not tied to a traumatic event as a major depression may be. SAD symptoms include those of a typical major depression, such as a depressed mood, anxiety, irritability and a general loss of interest or motivation. However, SAD patients usually sleep more, eat more and may crave and binge on carbohydrates. As a result, they may gain weight. There are seldom thoughts of suicide. In the northern hemisphere, the incidence of SAD appears to increase as one travels farther north to colder, darker climates. Individuals living in northern climates who travel south during the winter to sunnier locations may find their symptoms temporarily relieved.

    Extractions: by Jennifer K. Gray , BA, C.Ht. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects more than 25 million Americans each year. It is four times more likely to be found in women than men and is most common in the 24-40 age range. It is characterized by overwhelming feelings of depression during the winter months. Some symptoms include: mental confusion, inability to concentrate, procrastination, difficulty with small tasks, feelings of helplessness, overeating (usually heavy, starchy foods), restless sleep, low sex drive, and an overall withdrawal from the world. Physical symptoms such as backaches, muscle and joint aches and headaches are common. Geographical studies of patients with SAD indicated that the disorder was more prevalent the further north the subject lived. For example, one study showed that an estimate of 1.4% of the population near the equator was afflicted with SAD. The percent rose in accordance with the latitude and indicated a figure of 10.2 % in Canada.

    Extractions: Last Revision Date: January 31, 2000 Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is commonly referred to as winter depression in the northern hemisphere, but also occurs in the southern hemisphere during their winter. The essential diagnostic feature is a consistent pattern of depression occurring over at least the past 2 years during the winter months, with remission (no symptoms) during the summer. While depressive episodes may occur during the summer months, winter episodes far outnumber summer episodes. Some people even develop hypomanic or manic symptoms during the summer (increased activity, poor sleep, impulsive behavior, etc.). Symptoms characteristic of SAD include fatigue, oversleeping, overeating with weight gain and craving for carbohydrates, avoidance of social situations, sensitivity to rejection, heavy feeling in the arms or legs, poor concentration, difficulty completing tasks, and irritability. Many patients begin to notice symptoms as the days shorten, with January and February typically the worse months. Symptoms begin to improve as days lengthen. The illness tends to begin when patients are in their early to mid twenties, with more women than men developing SAD (4:1). Phototherapy: Most people use lights specifically designed for phototherapy, but some have found 4-lamp fluorescent light fixtures just as effective. Some have also found exposure to an hour of sunlight early in the morning (especially with a good walk) as effective as a light box.

    Extractions: Seasonal depression disorder This is a health article which discusses Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. The ailment effects some ten million Americans. Do you start wishing your were a brown bear around late December, so you could curl up inside your warm den and sleep for the next three months? Does your energy ebb quicker in the winter and your appetite soar to alarming heights? If so, you're not alone. The indolence of winter can be attributed to more than just dreary weather. Most recent estimates say about 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression and another 25 million have milder versions. Lack of light has always had an effect on human beings. Like other animals, humans respond to darkness by producing more melatonin, which acts like a tranquilizer on the body. In just an hour of darkness, we can produce five times as much melatonin as during daylight hours. At sunrise, the bright light ordinarily causes the body to stop producing melatonin, but in the winter not enough light is received to trigger the signal to stop production. bodyOffer(15855) For most people, the negative aspects of winter are annoying, but not a problem. However, people with a condition known as SAD, or seasonal affective disorder suffer from more serious symptoms. This malady is four times as common in women as in men. This disorder was first identified fifteen years ago by Norman Rosenthal, M.D. at the National Institute of Mental Health. Since then, scientists have continued to learn more about SAD and it's effects. A milder form is known as the "winter blues."

Like many people, you may experience cabin fever during the winter. You may also tend to eat more and sleep more. But SAD goes well beyond this. It's a type of depressive disorder. If you have SAD, winter's short days and long nights may induce feelings of depression, lethargy, fatigue, cravings for sweets and starches, headaches and sleep problems. Exactly how many people have SAD isn't well known, but estimates range from 2 percent to 10 percent of Americans. The disorder usually begins when you're a young adult. It's also more common in women than in men.
