SAD and the Seasons
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons, typically occurring during the fall and winter months. SAD is characterized by symptoms such as low energy, mood changes, and sleep problems. Western medical perspectives attribute SAD to reduced sunlight exposure, which can disrupt circadian rhythms and decrease serotonin levels. Common treatments include light therapy, medication, and psychotherapy.
While Western medicine offers various treatments for SAD, exploring diverse cultural perspectives on seasonal changes can provide valuable insights into managing this condition. Indigenous cultures, with their deep connection to nature and seasonal cycles, offer a unique and holistic approach to understanding and adapting to seasonal shifts.
