Seasonal Affective Disorder

It can be difficult to adjust to living in the rainy and cloudy Pacific Northwest, particularly when moving here from a sunnier clime. Do you feel like you have the "winter blues?" Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of clinical depression with a recurring seasonal pattern, rather than a separate disorder. To be diagnosed with SAD, people must meet full criteria for major depression coinciding with specific seasons (appearing in the winter or summer months) for at least two years; seasonal depressions must be much more frequent than any non-seasonal depressions. Read up on ways to combat the winter blues, including visiting the SCC to sit by the light box in our waiting room.

The American Psychological Association is the professional organization of psychologists and the field of psychology. A great resource for the public, their website includes information about the organization as well as a Consumer Help Center.
