When the Seasons Change: Understanding Seasonal Affective Disorder

Seasonal Affective Disorder affects people of all ages, including children, teens, adults, and older adults, especially during the darker winter months. In this episode of Mind Matters Conversations that Make a Difference, we sit down with Mariah Howard, a therapist at Siouxland Mental Health Center, to discuss what Seasonal Affective Disorder is, why it occurs, and how it can affect daily life.

Mariah shares common warning signs of how symptoms can look different across age groups and evidence-based strategies that can help, including light therapy, lifestyle changes, and therapy. Whether you are noticing changes in your own mood or supporting someone you care about, this conversation offers practical guidance and reassurance that support is available.

If you or someone you love is struggling, Siouxland Mental Health Center is here to help.
