Managing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) by Gail Erlandson, M. A. Does your mood change with the seasons? Does the gloomy fog of Sacramento coincide with gloomy thoughts and low energy? There are two types of Seasonal Affective Disorder (S. A. D. ) to be aware of: fall/winter onset S. A. D. and spring/summer onset S. A. D. The fall/winter type, sometimes known as “winter depression,” is the most common. The reduced level of sunlight in the winter can disrupt our body’s internal clock. Reduced sunlight can cause a drop in serotonin that may cause depression. The loss of light can also disrupt the balance of the natural hormone melatonin, which aids with sleep and stability of mood. Winter-onset seasonal affective disorder symptoms may include: feelings of hopelessness, social withdrawal, weight gain, oversleeping, difficulty concentrating, anxiety, and sometimes the craving of foods high in carbohydrates. It is normal to have some days when we feel the winter blues, but if we

Beyond diabetes there are psychiatric aspects of stroke, pain, substance abuse (particularly nicotine), asthma, heart disease, reproductive health, gastrointestinal illness, infectious disease, cancer, migraine. . . the list is huge. What can be done? Asking patients to cross Stockton Boulevard whenever they have a symptom or disease that affects both the mind and body will surely result in more than the occasional traffic accident. We need to move mental health out of the ghetto, reestablish good communication between mental health providers and the rest of the medical community, abolish insurance systems that isolate and stigmatize mental health care, and integrate mind health into medical school and residency programs (and I don t mean the oh-god-I-have-to-do-a-psych-rotation system currently in place). We have to reject the Cartesian fallacy that says that mind and body are separate: good medical care means treating the whole person. It s time to abandon the boulevard. Dr. R
