SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER: Signs, Symptoms, & Treatment!

CONTACT ME DIRECTLY HERE:   / polarwarriors  


Today I want to talk about something that prevents millions of us from enjoying the changing of the seasons and not just those of us with Bipolar Disorder. It's normal for life to slow down a little in the winter, but how do we know if it's more than just a “seasonal slump?”



Seasonal Affective Disorder is basically a type of seasonal-related depression that happens at the same time each year. The symptoms (which I'll talk more about) are very similar to clinical depression. It impacts millions of people with AND WITHOUT Bipolar Disorder. Most people who experience Seasonal Affective Disorder will get depressed during the fall and winter months. These feelings typically pass by the springtime. Notice how I said “most people” and “typically.” There's always exceptions – especially if there's something else going on like Bipolar Disorder, substance abuse, or a major triggering event.



---My channel is completely dedicated to helping individuals, families, and friends who struggle with, or know someone living with Bipolar Disorder. My goal is to provide actual tools, tips, and discuss topics that can potentially help “Polar Warriors” grow to live a more balanced, peaceful, and fulfilling life.
