Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) - Support for Winter

As we move through February, the days lengthen by a couple of minutes each day. That extra light can help counter the low mood and fatigue often associated with Seasonal Affective Disorder, offering a gentle reminder that spring is on its way.

SAD can affect motivation, sleep, appetite, and overall wellbeing. For those you support, it may feel confusing or frustrating - and for family members and carers, it can be worrying and emotionally draining too.

If this feels familiar, please know you’re not alone. Noticing these changes and caring enough to seek understanding already makes a difference.

Small things can help with SAD: making the most of daylight hours, staying connected, and offering reassurance on harder days. And just as importantly, carers need support too.
