Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or winter depression is a condition that is characterized by feelings of depression over the winter months. Sufferers are affected at the same time every year, as autumn and winter approach and then the symptoms disappear again in spring and summer. SAD is believed to be related to the availability of sunlight, which is less abundant in winter. Symptoms vary but generally include a propensity to sleep longer, a noticeable lack of energy, and depression. People suffering from SAD often find that they crave carbohydrates and sugary foods for energy. It is for this reason that many people with the disorder put on weight over the winter.
Light therapy is believed to one of the most effective treatments for SAD and this involves being exposed to specially manufactured strong lights or light boxes for a number of hours every day during the Autumn and winter months.
