Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
What is seasonal affective disorder and recommend products that can help people manage their symptoms?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression related to seasonal changes. I would like to call it winter mood changes as it often happens during the winter time. Mostly related to lack of sunshine.
During the spring and summer, everything changes and the symptoms are not present. With regards to treatment, often advise increasing lightening of the place where the patient lives. Being in contact with people will help overcome the mood changes.
