Summertime Blues: Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) strikes in the summer too!
There's an often unrecognized version of seasonal affective disorder known as summertime SAD. About 10% of people who experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD) do so in the summer, experts estimate.
Ruth Shach, Ph.D., a post-doctoral psychology fellow at Saint Louis University School of Medicine explains how the classic SAD occurs in late fall or winter when sunlight levels plummet and gloomy days dominate. For some people who develop SAD over their lifetime, these symptoms clash with the arrival of longer daylight hours, beautiful weather, outdoor activities and vacations.
The summertime blues are feelings of sadness and depression that may increase as the summer is ending, especially when facing failed summer goals.
Experts note that people who experience summer SAD typically have a genetic predisposition.
