Event description: 

People with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) experience changes in their mood, energy, sleep, weight, and appetite during the winter. Typically these changes begin in fall, reach their worst in December through February, and improve in the spring. Some individuals report changes as early as September, while others report changes beginning later in the fall. Similarly, some find that their symptoms have improved by early spring, while others find that symptoms continue until late spring. Some patients with SAD report their mood worsens with a series of dark days even in the summertime. Dr. Desan will provide deeper insight into his research and specifically what signs and symptoms to watch for.
