Welcome back my lovely listeners to this last episode of season three, where your host will be talking about Seasonal affective disorder also known as SAD this is a type of depression which is usually more severe during the winter months, and I found it very fitting due to the time of this recording that for most us the autumn months are upon us.

 The symptoms of SAD include - question- have you experienced any of these?

 • feelings of despair, guilt and worthlessness
 • lacking energy and sleepy during the day

 • craving carbohydrates and gaining weight

1.     Treatments for SAD
 The main treatments are:

 • light therapy – where a special lamp called a light box is used to simulate exposure to sunlight
 • talking therapies – such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or counselling
