Care

While crisp autumn evenings bring joy to many, for those living with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), the falling leaves and early sunsets can trigger anxiety, fatigue, and depression. Reduced sunlight disrupts circadian rhythms, serotonin, and melatonin levels, leading to symptoms like oversleeping, weight changes, irritability, and hopelessness. Left untreated, SAD can worsen—but treatments like light therapy, psychotherapy, and medication can make a real difference.
