If you feel down during the darker autumn and winter months – you're not imagining it. The weather can have a big impact on our mood. In fact, so much so, there is a diagnosis for it and it's called seasonal affective disorder (SAD). SAD is a type of depression that returns in a seasonal pattern. It can sometimes be referred to as 'winter depression' or the 'winter blues' because the symptoms are usually much more noticeable and severe during the darker months of the year.
