How do i get rid of the seasonal affective disorder??


i suffer the SAD = Seasonla Affective Disorder since i was a kid, and it makes me frustrated, depirissed and lazy..


please help and give me some useful tips ..

a tanning bed for several minutes a day will resolve the problem. SAD is caused by the shortening of the day, therefore exposure to more light will relieve the symptoms.

Take extra Vitamin D.

Move to FLORIDA, the Sunshine State! or California!

You may need a antidepressant around this time of year. Also tanning beds work well. I also struggle with this. Be happy we do not live in alaska when it gets dark for 30 days.

Try using a seasonal affective disorder lamp...This helps tremendously for people with this type of disorder...Here is a site that may help with your problem:
