Hello everyone!
As we turn the corner to spring, I thought it would be neat to revisit my interview I did with Texas A&M University over SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). SAD is a form of recurrent depressive disorder. While depression can strike at any time, this type of depression focuses on the onset of depressive episodes at a specific time of year (ie summer or winter). Please note that for a possible SAD diagnosis, this would not include depressive events such as unemployment or losing a loved one during the holidays.
Please enjoy my interview with Dr. McShane.

Instead, we strongly encourage you to seek help from qualified mental health professionals or utilize the hotlines here.
