Seasonal Affective Disorder and Summer in Hagley Park

Jerry Jordan, MBA, MEd — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:10:38 +0000

If you have found yourself down over the colder months and you weren’t sure why, you might want to ask your health care provider about Season Affective Disorder (SAD). While some people can get this mood shift at the change of any season, it is most common to feel depressed during the cold and cloudy winters.

One of the ways to deal with SAD is to have light therapy, which can involve sitting in front of sun lamps, but most simply involves getting out in the sun for awhile (but remember to wear your sunscreen). I was thinking of seasonal affective disorder the other day, as I walked through Hagley Park in Christchurch. I took some photos of the rose garden (two of which you can see on this post), as I walked through the park, thinking to myself what a beautiful city we in Christchurch call home.

If you are experiencing mood shifts that you cannot deal with or that are decreasing your quality of life, please contact us to see how we can help you.

Here’s to a rekindled passion for living!
