Turn To The Light If You Feel Sad (seasonal Affective Disorder)

Do you know someone who feels out of control during the winter months? Someone who can not shake the depression, irritability and anxiety? You may feel sad also known as seasonal affective disorder. Or maybe it's you?

Symptoms:

You can notice this if you are tired, depression, irritability, decreased activity, and pain. These symptoms seem more intense during the darkest months. People who live farther from the equator and short days during the winter months, this feeling of depression.

Treatments:

Exposure to light will help to lift your blues and get your body to an active state. Bright light, especially fluorescent lamps used in the morning and evening would be best. Something a little more fun can be a trip to a warm, sunny climate for a period as a way to warm up and brighten your mood.

The important thing to remember is that state of flow is temporary and will leave when the soil and the changes of the seasons. If it's too hard to live with and depression is too severe, perhaps move to a sunny climate is in store for you. Sunny Florida, Arizona and California offer some respite during the bleak winter months and can be a place you move to the winter or year-round.

Light of research:

Phototherapy has been used successfully to get more light into your life. A light box can be used to relieve some of your depression. A light box is designed to offer sufficient brightness (25x brighter than a normal bulb) to brighten your mood.

Music Therapy:

To beat the blues, put a little light and air to add a little sunshine. The Beatles wrote about a long cold lonely winter it feels like years since the sun was here. In remote areas of Ecuador (Sweden, Norway, Ireland, UK, Canada, Maine, Montana ...) hours a day are few and darkness has a way to take the relay of your psyche.

Here the sun, the sun here, and I say it's okay

Little Darling, who has been a long cold lonely winter

Little honey, it feels like years since it was here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say that is fine ...

Turn to the light ... and turn to friends and relatives and tell them what's going on with you. Social networks can be effective and healing to get you this time low.
