OG Therapy #159 – Beating the Winter Blues: Seasonal Affective Disorder & Social Health

In this episode of OG Therapy, we dive into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)—what it is, why it happens, and how it affects both body and mind. We break down the symptoms, from low mood and fatigue to changes in sleep and appetite, and look at the role of seasonal patterns and reduced sunlight on serotonin, melatonin, and circadian rhythms.

Most importantly, we explore how focusing on social health can be a powerful way to manage SAD and bring more light into your fall and winter seasons. If you’ve ever felt the seasonal shift hit hard, this conversation is for you.
