Do the long, gray months leave you feeling heavier, sadder, or more anxious? You’re not alone. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression linked to the changing seasons, often triggered by shorter days, lower sunlight, and shifts in key brain chemicals like serotonin, melatonin, and vitamin D.
In this episode, Does Winter Deepen Your Depression? Find Hope in the Dark: 4 Ways to Overcome Seasonal Depression, we’ll explore what SAD is, who it impacts most, and—most importantly—how you can take proactive steps to bring back the light. From simple mindset shifts and lifestyle changes to practical tools like exercise, light therapy, and vitamin D, you’ll learn four effective ways to manage seasonal depression and reclaim joy during the darker months.
If winter tends to weigh you down, this episode will help you prepare, reset, and find hope in the dark.
