Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Autumn’s colorful leaves fade and fall. Colder weather arrives. Too, for some women, these fall and winter months also bring Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). What is SAD?
Mental Health America (MHA) defines SAD as “a sub-type of depression or bipolar disorder that occurs and ends around the same time every year. Seasonal depression typically occurs when the seasons change and most symptoms begin in the fall and continue into the winter months.”
The good folks at MHA suggest that “Phototherapy or bright light therapy has been shown to suppress the brain’s secretion of melatonin.” So, bright light works. Yes, there are other suggestions, too. But what about COLOR?
I have always said, “I’m not a doctor, and I don’t play one on TV.” After 30+ years working as a Master Hair Stylist, I have developed a professional opinion about “winter blues,” too. Please, don’t be offended. I believe SAD is a very real thing. My heart goes out to those who suffer. All that to say, “I think there’s something powerfully uplifting about a woman getting her hair done. Whether it’s a fresh, new style. Or whether it’s getting a few highlights, or even a color change, this change (when well executed) can be a huge boost to a woman’s psyche.
Again, I make no scientific claims. I claim no scientific studies. Rather, the views expressed here are mine. I base my views 30+ years working in this profession as a Master Hair Stylist.
With that said, what do you say? Do you want to make an appointment with me today?
