If you’re feeling down and burnt out this winter, look for symptoms of seasonal depression. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is a type of depression that happens during certain seasons of the year—most often fall or winter.

According to John’s Hopkins Medicine, it is thought that shorter days and less daylight may trigger a chemical change in the brain leading to symptoms of depression.

The JHM journal stated, “Melatonin, a sleep-related hormone, also has been linked to SAD. The body naturally makes more melatonin when it’s dark. So, when the days are shorter and darker, more melatonin is made.”

The most common type of SAD is fall-onset. This normally occurs in the fall and winter months and tends to stop in the summer months. The less common variant of seasonal depression is spring-onset and occurs in the warmer parts of the year.
