Are you SAD?

Do you dread wintertime with its dreary days and cold weather?  Do you find yourself depressed, lacking energy and wanting to eat carbs all the time?  Could you be suffering from seasonal affective disorder (SAD)?   

People who find they deal with depression every year at the same timeframe may be dealing with SAD.  

I find I deal with SAD during January through March when days are dreary and the cold wind blows.   Often we schedule a trip to a tropical place during the winter (see last year’s vacation picture), but not this year.  So what is SAD and how do we cope with it?    More tomorrow.
