Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, it’s important to recognize the signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). If you're feeling more tired, down, or disconnected, you're not alone. Take care of your mental health this season by reaching out for support, getting outside when you can, and finding small moments of joy.
