When to Seek Help
It can be easy to brush off seasonal mood changes as something you just have to push through. Many people do exactly that, season after season, without ever getting the support that could help. You do not have to wait until things get worse.
Consider reaching out to a mental health professional if you notice:
- Symptoms that return every fall or winter
- Low mood that lasts two weeks or more
- Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy that affect your daily life
- Difficulty keeping up with work, relationships, or responsibilities
- Feelings of hopelessness or thoughts of self-harm
If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or others, please contact a crisis resource or emergency services right away. You matter, and help is available.
