Most of are most likely to visit our doctors during winters for anything such as regular check-ups for ourselves and our family members to see if we are actually winter ready.

But how many of us really go for a mental health check-up to keep our ourselves from the mental health struggles?

According to National Institute of Mental Health, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year.

In most cases, seasonal affective disorder symptoms appear during late fall or early winter and go away during the sunnier days of spring and summer. Less commonly, people with the opposite pattern have symptoms that begin in spring or summer.

It is suggestible to visit your doctor and speak about this than of suffering in silence. Your doctor will be helping you to make a plan…

    I know most people tend to shy away from winter activity but I find winter is a great time to learn a new activity. It helps the time go faster especially on those long dark evenings and nights. Learning music is a great way to make us feel happy and then by Spring we can maybe feel confidant enough to share it with others. I also love quilting. I always try to do at least one during the winter. Choosing bright beautiful patterns help me remember Spring is coming! God Bless!

      Thank you for such a beautiful description of the weather. Winter food is the best kind of food! Staying inside on a chilly evening calls for hot chocolate and cream, warm apple juice or copious mugs of tea. Mince pies and other seasonal treats appear in the supermarkets, just begging to be served warm with cream. Winter vegetables can be roasted or turned into steaming bowls of healthy soup and winter fruits can be baked into yummy pies. Plus, if the cold weather is forcing you to spend the day indoors, there is plenty of time to bake a fruit cake, assemble a gingerbread house or experiment with the abundance of seasonal recipes that pop up across the internet.

    I hear couple of time people telling me that they get very depressed during the winter… And they cannot understand when I tell them that I absolutely love it. For me, September and October are worst months… Everything else, I am fine

      That makes two of us Dario. 🙌🏼
      As soon as that gentle chill in the air turns into biting cold you know winter has officially arrived! However, the cold weather is a perfect excuse to switch to a winter wardrobe. Personally, I love wrapping up in thick scarves, woolly hats and knitted socks. Plus, a large number of patterned, ‘ugly’ jumpers appear in the shops there is nothing better than a big, cosy jumper!

        Haha I see you enjoy winter in own way, My way is to wake up early because day is too short…just put something easy with long sleeves on myself…and then I go in forest to run…and after that i enjoy my cup of coffee or tea.

        Ah yes Dario. Most people find it difficult to run during winters. a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.
        Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body’s dehydration levels are lower than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.

        My own not the country, I really only have issues with certain people as soon as they enter my physical bubble, the rest is just probably trying to get someone to kill them to get back at me, since usually that’s how those psychos work, like the Triads..😂

    A very interesting view on mental health. But it does make sense. If we can have physical health check-ups, why not mental health check-ups too?
