About Season Affective Disorder

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), winter blues, or seasonal depression, is a medical condition caused by the seasonal change in the amount of available sunlight. People who suffer from this mood disorder experience normal mental health throughout most of the year, but experience depressive symptoms in the darker winter months.

Winter Over Cast Day

Some people experience a serious mood change when the seasons change or when they find themselves deprived of natural daylight. Loss of natural light can be the result of long winters, rainy weather, night shift work, airplane travel and subsequent jet lag, or just a lifestyle that dictates too much time indoors. Symptoms of winter blues, or winter depression, are sluggishness, sleep problems, memory loss, the inability to concentrate and loss of mental acuity.

Scientific study has shown the effects of light on the body are more than psychological. Sunlight prompts our systems to produce the hormones directly responsible for improving mood and creating a sense of well-being. The HappyLight® line of sunshine supplement systems provides supplemental Natural Spectrum® light when sunlight is unavailable to prompt the body's natural energy enhancer's to help you relax, focus and feel revitalized.

Many doctors and psychologists are prescribing light therapy for their patients. Insurance may be available for some situations. Please check with your insurance carrier for coverage.
