Although Winter SAD is the most common type of seasonal depression, SAD can also be experienced during the Summer months. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Summer SAD is "less frequently occurring" with symptoms including:
- Poor appetite with associated weight loss
- Insomnia
- Agitation
- Restlessness
- Anxiety
- Episodes of violent behaviour
Now that you know the symptoms of SAD, it's important to know the demographic that is at risk for SAD.
