What is the treatment for seasonal affective disorder?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 44-year-old female working at a school. Last winter, I suffered major depressive symptoms and took therapy according to the physician's advice. Now that winter is approaching, I feel anxious and insecure. What are the chances I go into depression again this year and what can be done to avoid it? Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
It is a seasonal affective disorder. You might not face this issue every winter unless you are in stress and tension. I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions.
- Get enough sunlight for half an hour daily.
- Exercise regularly for at least 45 minutes a day.
- Try to share any negative thoughts with your close ones.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
