“It takes, for some people, a really big effort to wake up and motivate themselves for everyday life. So these symptoms might not be seen by others, but they're still having debilitating effects on the person.” – Dr. med. univ. László Ürögi, specialist in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy.
As winter approaches, so too does the threat of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is a psychological condition triggered by the changing of seasons. Often displaying depressive-like symptoms, it occurs around the same time each year, most commonly- but not exclusively- during the winter months.
In episode twelve of The Kusnacht Practice’s podcast series, Global Sales and Marketing Director Philippe Rovere talks with Dr. med. univ. László Ürögi, Specialist in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Dr. Ürögi reveals the signs that often go unnoticed and the advantages and effectiveness of light therapy in alleviating symptoms. He stresses the importance of physical activity and maintaining social contact to avoid the development of SAD, while underlining the benefits of using online platforms to compensate for ‘social distancing’.
