- Concentration is difficult
- Energy level decreases
- Appetite changes, especially with sweet or starchy foods

SAD sufferers often feel a loss in interest and pleasure in activities they once enjoyed. They also experience feelings like guilt, hopelessness, or helplessness. Some sufferers may experience stomachaches or headaches.
SAD can be treated with sunlight . As the summer heat begins to whine, symptoms begin to subside. We often wonder if this is true.
What to do if the seasonal depression persists in the summer? Ketamine Therapy may be a solution!
There are many types of depression. Some are caused by life events, others by brain chemical changes. It’s important to be aware of your body and mind. While it’s common to feel blue from time to time, you might be suffering from clinical depression even after the sun sets.
These are the most common types of clinical depressions.
- Major Depressive Disorder occurs when you feel depressed on most days of your week. You may feel tired, sluggish or worthless. It is possible to lose interest in certain activities you once enjoyed. It can be difficult to concentrate or make decisions. Suicide thoughts may be a possibility.
- Persistent Depression Disorder is a condition that causes persistent depression for more than two years and has symptoms similar to major depressive disorder.
- Manic depression or bipolar disorder: Extreme mood episodes can occur when someone is experiencing this type of depression. They may experience extreme mood episodes, such as feeling “high” with energy and “low” depression. If you are in a “low”, symptoms of serious depression can occur. Manic depression sufferers will experience extreme euphoria, hyperactivity and delusions. This is a dangerous condition that can cause people to not eat or sleep during manic episodes.
