As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, many people eagerly anticipate summer. For most, it’s a season of joy, adventure, and outdoor fun. However, for some individuals, summer can bring an unexpected struggle known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Often dismissed or overlooked, this phenomenon—commonly referred to as summer SAD or reverse seasonal depression—can cast a shadow over those who experience it during what is typically considered a cheerful time of year. If you find yourself feeling down while others are celebrating the warmth and light of summertime, you're not alone. Understanding this hidden battle can be the first step toward finding relief and regaining your zest for life amidst the sunny days.
