Audience: This webinar is for anyone interested in the topic of Seasonal Affective Disorder and coping strategies.
From 1-10% of the population, about 10 million people, experience Seasonal Affective Disorder, a type of major depression that has a seasonal pattern. While many people think of S.A.D. as merely “Winter Blues,” the symptoms of this disorder are distressing, disabling, and can be life-threatening. There is relief available when properly diagnosed and treated.
This interactive webinar distinguishes between two types of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and explores the various facts and myths about this form of depression, including symptoms, treatment approaches, and strategies for coping if you know you are prone to S.A.D. This one-hour webinar includes time for questions and answers, and includes helpful resources.
Intended Outcomes:
- Distinguish between winter SAD and Summer SAD
- Name three symptoms and know when to contact your health care provider
- Name three treatment approaches for Seasonal Affective Disorder
- Learn the phone and text numbers for 24-hour crisis help
