Best Ways to Manage Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Keep Busy

Sitting around the house on a cold winter day would make anyone feel blue, even if they don’t suffer from seasonal affective disorder. With this in mind, then, patients should keep busy by planning activities they enjoy to keep their mind off being sad. Some individuals may want to look into volunteering at their local animal shelter as animals have a great way of showing humans love. Visiting family and friends is also a great idea. Many seasonal affective disorder patients point out the secret, aside from being as active as possible, is to surround themselves with friends and loved ones who won't let them shut themselves in the house all winter long. Activities like planning a summer vacation will give individuals something to look forward to during those cold months.
