Experts state that these feelings may be related to sunlight and that symptoms such as negative emotions, sleep problems, and lack of motivation that occur in overcast weather may indicate winter depression.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_causes_winter_depression\"><\/span>What causes winter depression?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nMood changes that occur at certain times of the year and repeat themselves are called &#8220;seasonal affective disorder&#8221;. The most common subtype is &#8220;winter seasonal affective disorder&#8221;. This disorder, also called winter depression, occurs when depressive symptoms occur in autumn and winter; It is a disease in which these symptoms disappear in the spring and summer months.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_symptoms_of_winter_depression\"><\/span>What are the symptoms of winter depression?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nIndividuals experiencing winter depression experience typical symptoms such as loss of energy and negative affect. Additionally;\r\n\u2022 Loss or increase in appetite,\r\n\u2022 Decrease or increase in sleep,\r\n\u2022 Reluctance,\r\n\u2022 Hopelessness,\r\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Tiredness,\r\n\u2022 Irritability,\r\n\u2022 Various symptoms may occur, such as thoughts of death and suicide.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_usually_gets_winter_depression\"><\/span>Who usually gets winter depression?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nAlthough winter depression is seen in individuals of all ages, the age at which the first complaint appears is young adulthood. Winter depression, like other forms of depression, is twice as common in women than in men. In addition, individuals suffering from some psychological disorders such as bipolar disorder are more likely to experience winter depression, as their complaints of depression can vary greatly seasonally.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_causes_of_winter_depression\"><\/span>What are the causes of winter depression?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nAt the source of winter depression; In addition to family history and personality traits, the effect of sunlight on human biology is emphasized. In autumn and winter, the shortening of the days, decreases in daylight and long dark hours may cause an increase in the melatonin hormone secreted by individuals and a decrease in the serotonin hormone. Increases and decreases in these hormones may reveal the biological effects necessary for the formation of depression because serotonin and melatonin play a supporting role in regulating the sleep and wakefulness cycle, energy and mood in individuals. In this context, scientific research has shown that vitamin D stored in the body thanks to sunlight may be a protective factor against winter depression symptoms.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_winter_depression_treated\"><\/span>How is winter depression treated?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nAs a form of treatment, bright light therapy applied early in the morning can be effective in overcoming winter depression. Other treatment methods for winter depression are psychotherapy combined with medical treatment.\r\n\r\nIf you think you are experiencing winter depression, you can increase outdoor activities such as exercise, sports and meeting with your close circle. Apart from these, winter may be the best time to pick up a new hobby. You can experience the excitement of coming home from work and doing something you love. In this way, you can feel better and spend this period more peacefully.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row pix_particles_check=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Winter Depression During the winter months, we may feel sadder, tiredder, and hopeless.
