Seasonal Blues

The winter season and holidays are a stressful time for us all. So, prioritizing your health is the best gift you can give yourself.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), most commonly known as Seasonal Depression, is a great challenge for many during this time of year. Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive form of treatment known for enriching the body with all the benefits of the sun, in addition to improving mental and physical health.

What is Seasonal Depression?

According to the American Psychiatric Association, SAD can be defined as a Major Depressive Disorder that has a seasonal pattern. Symptoms occur during the fall and winter months. This is due to our natural sunlight exposure reducing as the climate grows colder.

Symptoms include, but are not limited to:

-Change in mood

-Loss of interest in activities

-Changes in appetite as well as sleep

-Loss of energy

-Difficulty focusing

These symptoms take a huge toll on those who struggle with Seasonal Depression, and finding ways to combat mental health can be challenging.

Does Red Light Therapy Help?

The short answer is yes!

The lack of exposure to sunlight is one of the major factors that contributes to Seasonal Depression. People are spending more time indoors with the colder climate. Lack of daylight will quickly alter daily routine and mood. Red Light Therapy is a great way to combat this as it enriches the body with all the benefits of the sun without any of the damage.

It is shown to improve mental health by reducing stress and anxiety, with added benefits for the skin and muscles . It also helps the production of ATP which is crucial in helping your body sustain high energy and improves mood. It’s affordable, non invasive, and accessible all year round to improve your health.
