It’s most common during the winter when nights are long and there’s not much sunlight. Symptoms include feeling sad, tired and lazy, just to name a few. There are ways to fight these feelings, like eating healthy food, exercising and doing things that make you happy. Plus, you can find wellness tools through the GeoBlue Member Hub that you can use to help cope with SAD.
