Seasonal Affective Disorder
Need Expert Advice? Access 2nd MD
SAD typically occurs more frequently in women than in men, and chiefly in younger adults (ages 18- 30). You may also be at increased risk the farther you live from the equator, or if you have low vitamin D levels, a family history of SAD or other mental health conditions such as depression, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. There are treatments available that may help combat SAD; talk to your healthcare provider about what is best for you.
