It happens every year. The falling of leaves and shorter days can give way to a groggy, tired-sadness. Despite the lovely scent of pumpkin spice everything (or maybe because of it), a certain negativity can slowly creep up on us with the seasonal shift. Did you know there’s an actual scientific explanation for this?
“The blues” one might experience during this time of the year is referred to as seasonal affective disorder or SAD for short (oh, the irony!). The change in weather can even alter your appetite and energy-levels. And, for those who may endure depression or other mental illnesses regularly, SAD may make those symptoms worse.
During the fall and winter time, the sun does not come out as often (for some of us, at least). This lack of sunlight can have effects on our body and brain chemistry:
- It can disrupt circadian rhythm, the body’s internal clock that helps regulate sleep patterns. A disruption can affect energy levels throughout the day and sleep consistency.
- It can lead to a decrease in serotonin levels. A reduced amount of Serotonin, a brain neurotransmitter that affects your mood, can trigger negative thoughts or even depression. Low levels can also spark irritability and poor decision making.
- It can cause a decrease in melatonin levels. Melatonin is another body chemical that affects sleep patterns and mood.
In order to help ward off negative thoughts and manage our mental health, it’s important to balance our brain and body chemistry. There are different pills and medications that claim to help, but carry varying risks.
Why not opt for the natural route instead?
