Seasonal Affective Disorder and You

wellnesswheel

The seasons are changing, and it's slowly becoming colder! You know what that means: winter blues. If you get sad when the seasons change, you aren't the only one; many people may feel down when winter rolls around. However, if you feel as though you can't get out of bed or enjoy activities that you love, have work or school problems because of sadness during the winter, and have consistently lower energy during the colder months, you may be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). 

If this sounds like you, don't just brush it off - consider coming to a Wellness Coaching session or visiting CAPS for strategies to improve your mood and motivation throughout the winter.
