Seasonal Affective Disorder (aka SAD) is a form of major depression that appears late in the year, when the days get shorter and the temperatures get colder. Recent reports show that episodes of SAD last about four months and up to 35 percent of sufferers require hospital care at some point. People with SAD also tend to eat more junk food and food rich in carbohydrates. Although the cause of seasonal affective disorder is unknown, antidepressants and behavioral therapy can help treat it. Cleveland Clinic psychologist Dr. Michael McKee offers suggestions on how people with SAD can also spend more time in the light and getting active, including light therapy.
Depression has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and across nearly all industrialized nations. With 15% of all depressed individuals surrendering to suicide every year, and a lack of coordinated treatments, it is time to step up to the plate against this menacing illness.

Who hasnt felt like staying in bed and hibernating in the depths of winter? If its an occasional feeling, no problem, but if its chronic, you could have seasonal deficit disorder (SAD).

Currently light therapy is the primary treatment for SAD but an alternative is using an antidepressant as well, explains Iris Krawchenko , of Dell Pharmacy.
