Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that happens during the same season of the year every year. The winter blues are a milder condition to this one that has some of the same symptoms and many of the same treatment options, although some people also use that term colloquially to refer to SAD.
As someone who has SAD and struggles with winter because of it, I thought I’d use this week’s freebie post to share some books about it. Both fiction and nonfiction titles are included. I haven’t read most of them yet, but I’d like to!
1. The Girl and the Grove by Eric Smith
2. Super Chill: A Year of Living Anxiously by Adam Ellis
3. Light Boxes by Shane Jones
4. Stay and Fight by Madeline Ffitch
5. Winter Blues: Everything You Need to Know to Beat Seasonal Affective Disorder by Norman E. Rosenthal
6. Defeating SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder): A Guide to Health and Happiness Through All Seasons by Norman E. Rosenthal
If you have a medical condition or conditions, which books about it or them are you aware of? Would you recommend reading those books to people who want to learn more?
I read somewhere that January or February is the cloudiest months of the year and I think the gloomy weather can have a negative affect. Hope you find some great things to cheer you this winter. 🙂
