Seasonal depression, otherwise known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, occurs during the fall and winter months in North America. Although the exact cause of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) has not been identified, doctors suspect that approximately 3% of Canadians will experience SAD due to the shortage of sunlight in winter. Individuals affected by SAD will experience irritability, carbohydrates cravings, weight gain, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, and mood swings or feelings of sadness. These symptoms appear during the winter months and disappear in the spring. Describe a treatment method to reduce the symptoms of SAD that does not involve antidepressants.
