Coping With Seasonal Affective
Disorder At Work

Does winter tend to negatively effect your mood? Have
you been feeling more tired lately or are struggling
to concentrate? If so, you may be suffering from
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Commonly known as SAD or winter depression,
Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression
that you may experience during particular seasons
or times of year. Experienced by 1 in 3 people in the
UK, it is usually associated with the changes we go
through during the long winter months and can have
a negative impact on all aspects of our lives, including
work.
You will find this article on our Professional
Development Platform. It guides you through how
to spot the signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder and
how to treat it effectively. It is important to note that
help is out there, whether in the form of medical
treatment, getting support at work or a friendly face
to talk to. Moreover, you can help yourself by making
your mental health a priority this winter and beyond.
