Winter blues may need attention From Christy Morris, Hosparus of Green River Some of us notice seasonal affective disorder (SAD) as our spirits begin to feel low when the days are shorter in the winter (also called "winter blues"). SAD is not considered a separate disorder but is a type of depression, characterized by its recurrent seasonal pattern, with symptoms lasting about four to five months per year beginning to feel better in the spring. The signs and symptoms of SAD include: Symptoms of major depression may include: Feeling depressed most of the day, nearly every day Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed Experiencing changes in appetite or weight Having problems with sleep Feeling sluggish or agitated Having low energy Feeling hopeless or worthless Having difficulty concentrating Having frequent thoughts of death or suicide For winter-pattern SAD, additional specific symptoms may include: Oversleeping (hypersomnia) Overeating, particularly with a craving for carbohydrates Weight gain Social withdrawal (feeling like "hibernating") Specific symptoms for summer-pattern SAD may include: Trouble sleeping (insomnia) Poor appetite, leading to weight loss Restlessness and agitation Anxiety Episodes of violent behavior If you or someone you know is in immediate distress or is thinking about hurting themselves, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline toll-free at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or the toll-free TTY number at 1-800-799-4TTY (4889).
