SAD -Seasonal Affective Disorder in Children

Until I came into this field of work I had never heard of SAD.  Then I started to treat clients all year round and there certainly was a difference when the clock changed at the end of October.  Often the sufferer just wants to literally hibernate until the end of the dark months and their personality takes a complete U turn, they feel depressed and miserable.

Children can suffer too.  Very hard in today's society when children do spend so much more time on computers indoors.  But if they no longer want to go out meet friends and their personality changes then you may have over looked SAD. 

There is much written on Vitamin D3 which maybe of help as well as light boxes.
