Seasonal Affective Disorder Home Research Activities SAD Photos Misc My Experience When I moved to California, my life changed completely. I experienced tremendous personal growth and my career advanced more than satisfactorily. I came out of my shell. Old friends would look at me and comment "You've changed." without being able to tell me how I'd changed. Then I moved to Michigan and started backsliding. I began to exhibit behaviors that I thought I had outgrown. I'd get cranky and irritable for no discernible reason. I'd experience periods of listlessness where I could just barely get myself off the couch and couldn't work up any enthusiasm even for projects about which I was excited. I started going back into my shell. Now, before California, I thought that was how life was, and that I was just, well, imperfect. After California, however, I suspected that it wasn't me. I mean, I couldn't be ungrowing the growth I'd experienced in California. After a while, I heard about this thing called "SAD." At first, I thought nothing of it, but, gradually, I started thinking that there might be something to it. Of course, deep down, I felt that I couldn't have it. I mean, I control my own behavior, don't I? I couldn't possibly be different because of a silly thing like changes in light. I grew up in the North! In winter, I went to school in darkness and came home in darkness! Sometimes the street lights would be on all day! Your activities change in winter, but

The cause of SAD is not known but is thought to be related to numerous factors such as body temperature, hormone regulation, and ambient light. There is a rare form that occurs in the summer.

Usually those affected by SAD become depressed in the fall and winter and feel better during the spring and summer. Atypical cases are also known in which the person becomes depressed during the summer. Most people with SAD are women whose illness typically begins in their twenties. Milder versions of SAD have been reported in children and adolescents.

Dual Diagnosis -I Dual Diagnosis - II Anxiety S easonal Affective Disorder I stood in a steady drizzle, the rain beating on my exposed head like a Chinese water torture. But my physical discomfort was nothing compared to the subtle process taking place from within the other side of my skull. Months before, without knowing it, I had said goodbye to the sun forever, and it was beginning to have a very pronounced effect on my psyche. In the fall of 1975 I had moved to Vancouver to be with my fiancée. There, in Kitsalano, where the hippies hung out, one could wake up to a breathtaking view of the ships in the harbor and the snow-capped mountains behind North Vancouver. But nine days out of ten, the clouds dropped to treetop level, discharging a light mist that carried the intoxicating scents of the nearby forests into the city but also creating a filmy shroud that settled over every landmark in the vicinity. "They took away the mountains," I would half-joke to my fiancée, not used to a force that could turn mighty peaks invisible. Then December approached, and with it a Stygian darkness that descended at four in the afternoon and snuffed out the murky gray that passed for light in this part of the world.

Ask the Doctor Q. Seasonal Affective Disorder... For the past few years, come the end of the summer, I have been feeling miserable and down in the dumps. My friend suggested I could be suffering from seasonal affective disorder. I'd like to know more about it, so that this year I can do something about it. Ed Dr Rob Hicks responds Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, is a specific type of depression. It affects people at the same time each year, and usually starts sometime between September and November. Experts believe that it is related to a lack of daylight exposure, which explains why when the days get shorter, people start suffering the symptoms. Many people complain of feeling miserable, lacking energy, being tired, having low spirits, and feeling depressed. Some find they can't get off to sleep, they eat less, or more, than usual, and they've no sex drive. Almost spontaneously, with the arrival of spring and the longer daylight hours, their symptoms disappear, and they feel back to normal again.
