Avoid S.A.D. Syndrome

Here’s How to Avoid S.A.D. Syndrome This Fall

Keep Moving

Exercise and regular physical activities increase the production and release of mood-related hormones such as serotonin and dopamine. Forms exercise you can integrate into your daily routine this fall for better emotional well-being, including biking, running, and hiking.

Talk To Someone

Talking to someone, whether a friend or relative, gives you a positive support network. As a result, you are less likely to be bombarded with negative feelings that wreak havoc on your mood.

Meditate

Like exercise, meditation increases serotonin levels in your system. This promotes relaxation and positive thoughts.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
