Herbstblues: Tips against the dark season in Witzenhausen!

Witzenhausen, Deutschland - Autumn is there and with it the dreaded autumn blues comes! When the days get shorter and the temperatures are falling, many people fight against cloudy thoughts and listlessness. This seasonally dependent disorder, also known as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), not only brings tiredness, but also mood swings. An mood low that lasts longer than two weeks could be a sign for this temporary but stressful disease.

The causes have not yet been fully clarified, but the scientists agree: the lack of light is a decisive factor! When the sun makes itself rare, the body pours out more melatonin, the sleep hormone that makes us sleepy. At the same time, the vitamin D level drops, which is important for our mood. The symptoms are diverse: fatigue, depressive thoughts and a general feeling of melancholy. If you feel like this over a longer period of time, you shouldn't hesitate to see a doctor.
