Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression. The depressive mood occurs during the fall or winter season, when there is less light in a year. The depression symptom can affect their daily functions. Studies have shown that SAD has been linked to a chemical imbalance in the brain, which is caused by less sunlight and shorter daylight hours. Seasonal changes cause internal biological changes, which can result in mood shifts. SAD is quite common in regions where there are fewer daylight hours in the winter.<\/p>\n

The mood changes can be more serious and affect emotions, thoughts, and behavior. If there are significant changes in mood and behavior with the change in season, it is more likely to be SAD. The symptoms start in the early winter and go away during the summer, and some people experience depressive symptoms during the summer, which are uncommon.<\/p>\n

The cause of SAD is not accurately known and is complex to understand. Some studies have indicated that a reduction in exposure to sunlight can lead to a decrease in serotonin regulation, overproduction of melatonin, which affects mood and energy, and vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to depression.<\/p>\n
