Seasonal Affective Disorder If you notice periods of depression that seem to accompany seasonal changes during the year, you may suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD). This condition is characterized by recurrent episodes of depression in certain months of the year alternating with periods of normal mood the rest of the year. 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. Many people with SAD report at least one close relative with a psychiatric condition, most frequently a severe depressive disorder (55 percent) or alcohol abuse (34 percent). What are the patterns of SAD? The usual characteristics of recurrent winter depression include oversleeping, carbohydrate craving, and weight gain. Other symptoms include the usual features of depression, especially decreased sexual appetite, lethargy, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, lack of interest in normal activities, and social withdrawal. Recurrent summer depression is more likely to be characterized by insomnia, decreased appetite, weight loss, and agitation or anxiety. Patients with SAD in the summer often have histories of summer trips to the north, where they find relief from depression in cold climates. Generally, normal air conditioning is not sufficient to relieve depression in these patients during the summer months.

What is SAD? SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is a type of winter depression which affects millions of people every winter between September and April, in particular during December, January and February. SAD is caused by a biochemical imbalance in the hypothalamus due to the shortening of daylight hours and the lack of sunlight in winter. For many people SAD is a seriously disabling illness, preventing them from functioning normally without continuous medical treatment. For others, it is a milder condition, causing discomfort, referred to as sub-syndromal SAD or winter blues.

Seasonal Affective Disorder and Seasonal Mood Changes Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), or Winter Depression is an affective disorder occurring in individuals with an increased sensitivity to seasonal changes. Some people suffer from a less severe form of this ailment, the "Winter Blues". The American Psychiatric Association endorses light therapy as the treatment of choice for a seasonal pattern depression. Many people in northern or southern latitudes suffer from seasonal mood disorders. These maladies appear to be linked to the activity of the internal body clock, which regulates eating, sleeping, socializing and sexual activity, and is influenced by changes in the seasons. As the days get shorter, mammals reduce their activities, sleep longer, and eat more, gaining weight to survive harsh winter conditions. Humans often experience these changes as a reduction in energy and a tendency to gain weight in the winter months. These seasonal changes can lead us to experience a season depression termed "Seasonal Affective Disorder" or SAD. Light Therapy can extend a person’s internal day, restoring the body clock to a summer mode. While it was originally thought that bright light was needed to reset the body clock or to influence brain physiology, Sunnex Biotechnologies has developed a technology to achieve this effect in a safer and more comfortable manner.
