Seasonal Affective Disorder and Birth Parents
Can you believe that Autumn starts this coming Sunday? Where did the year go?
With the days growing progressively shorter and the holidays looming right around the corner, I got to thinking about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and how it may (or may not) come into play for various birth parents.
Do you deal more with your depression in the winter months? Is it simply because of the holidays? The lack of light? Adoption issues? Or everything combined? Are you aware of the signs and symptoms of SAD so that you can watch for them during the fall and winter months?
Does anyone have a story about SAD that they'd be comfortable sharing? How have you coped?
