Treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder

Because the days are shorter during the winter months, many men and women find themselves excessively tired and lacking energy. They often feel lethargic and may even dread getting out of bed in the morning. Or they may have an overall feeling of mild depression caused from the lack of sunlight. Also many people notice some weight gain. It seems that we want to eat more in the winter.

People who suffer from Winter depression often try to improve the symptoms of seasonal affective depression (SAD) by drinking more coffee or other stimulants that really don't make any difference in how they feel overall.

I for one am one of those people who need at least 15 minutes of sunshine daily. But sometimes in the wintertime, especially when there is lots of snow, it is hard to find the sunshine.
