With the sudden plunge into darkness after the Daylight Savings Time changes, you might find yourself dealing with some winter blues. Do you find that you suffer from symptoms of fatigue, the blues, irritability or trouble focusing this time of year?
Well, according to the Mayo Clinic - you could be suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. These symptoms may be caused by changes to your circadian rhythm due to less sunlight hours this time of year. If you feel down for days at a time and can't seem to get motivated to do activities you normally enjoy, the Mayo Clinic recommends that you go see your doctor.
For the rest of us - simply adding more light to your day, exercising regularly, managing stress, keeping up social connections, or taking a trip to a warm sunny location can make a big difference. Read specific tips on preventing and managing seasonal blues here...
