Homeopathy for seasonal affective disorders

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a kind of a depression that occurs each year at the same season.

SAD is more common in women, people who stay in regions far from the equator where the days are shorter. The age group having SAD is between 15 years to 55 years. SAD is also commonly known as seasonal depression.

SAD is caused by lack of sunlight. Also, there is a chemical in the brain which controls the mood if that is affected one may get SAD or if there is a problem in the biological clock that controls one’s sleep-wake patterns and circadian rhythms.

SAD patients feel sad, anxious, grumpy, and moody, lose interest in activities. There may be abnormal weight gain, tired after sleep, poor concentration, craving for carbohydrate foods like bread, pizza, pasta, etc.

It is very difficult to diagnose SAD especially from other kinds of depression. But if one has depression in the same season for about 2 years then that patient is likely to be having SAD. SAD is sometimes a hereditary disease also.

Organic, whole herb extracts used in homeopathic medicines give the best result. So homeopathic treatment in such cases is highly recommended. For more information visit www.homeosure.com, www.facebook.com/homeosure, www.twitter.com/homeosure.
