SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorder | HomeHealthMedical.com Blog

Getting the day started during the time change in central Indiana can really make waking up and getting your feet on the floor a drag.?If you were up late the previous night, you might just need a good nights rest, but if you experience any of the following symptoms on a regular basis you may have Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD:

  • Difficulty waking up in the morning
  • Wanting to oversleep or remain in bed
  • Lack of energy
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Feeling less motivated than usual

SAD is a mood disorder in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of year experience depressive symptoms in the winter. (Beef this up a little?)

One of the most effective treatments for SAD is bright light therapy.?At HomeHealthMedical.com we offer two different bright light therapy systems. Our most popular is the Day-Light Bright Light Therapy System. Used in clinical research for more than 10 years, the Day-Light system meets all standards set by light therapy experts. The Day-Light Bright Light Therapy System delivers white light at an angle that mimics outdoor light, and it is 100% UV-filtered for safety. Just 20-30 minutes a day is all it takes to significantly improve symptoms.?

If you think you may have SAD, speak to your doctor about your options.?Even if you don?t have SAD everyone feels a little bit better when they start out their day when the sun is coming out. Its kind of like taking that first drink of hot coffee in the morning. The simulated outdoor light makes your eyes and your brain wake up and start working on all cylinders.?If interested in purchasing the Day-Light Bright Light therapy System click HERE!?
