As the days grow shorter and the colder months descend, many people find themselves grappling with Seasonal Depression, also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is a form of depression triggered by reduced exposure to sunlight, and it affects roughly 10 million Americans. The relentless gloom can take a toll on one's mood and energy levels, which impacts overall well-being.
Luckily, there are plenty of products designed to alleviate the symptoms of SAD and make the winter blues more manageable. I've personally found each product on this list helpful in alleviating my own seasonal gloom, and I hope you do, too.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please talk to your doctor or call the National Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) hotline at 1-800-662-4375.
