Feeling down during Toronto’s long winter? You're not alone. Seasonal changes can impact our mood, leaving many with persistent sadness or low energy—often called 'winter blues' or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). At Dynamic Health Clinic in North York, we provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you overcome these seasonal hurdles and reclaim your joy, no matter the weather.
Why Do We Get Seasonal Depression?
Reduced daylight, colder temperatures, and changes in routine can disrupt our body’s natural rhythms. For some, this leads to feelings of sadness, fatigue, or irritability that go beyond just 'disliking winter.' Knowing the signs and understanding the causes can empower you to seek help. Learn more from CAMH about Seasonal Affective Disorder.
