Priory Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Treatment You don't have to struggle with a mental health condition - help is available. MAKE AN ENQUIRY Home Mental Health Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Treatment Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) treatment Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that typically occurs during the seasons of autumn and winter. It is also known as winter depression. While many people’s moods can fluctuate depending on the weather, such as finding that you tend to feel more positive on a bright sunny day, for those who struggle with SAD, the shortened daylight hours and lack of natural light that are experienced during the UK’s winter months, can have a hugely detrimental impact on their quality of life as well as their ability to function effectively on a day-to-day basis.
