As the vibrant colors of autumn begin to fade and the days grow shorter, many people find themselves grappling with a familiar foe: the 'fall blues,' often a symptom of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons, typically starting in the fall and continuing into the winter months. The reduced sunlight hours can disrupt your body's internal clock and lead to a drop in serotonin levels, affecting mood and energy. But don't let SAD cast a shadow over your autumn enjoyment. There are several effective strategies to combat its effects and maintain your mental well-being.
