Our Founder + Clinical Director, Emily Pagone, MS, LCPC, PMH-C, provides her insights and expertise regarding why seasonal depression is not just about the bleakness of winter in this Salon.com article by Mary Elizabeth Williams. Seasonal depression, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), manifests from the co-occurring, compounded lifestyle changes that simultaneously shift in response to the environmental occurrence of the winter months. In the Salon.com article, Emily discusses some strategies for all to consider, implement, and consistently practice during this wintertime of year, and especially so after the holidays are over and us Midwesterners enter the often *extra* challenging January-March months.
