10 symptoms of SAD

Lack of Energy: There is an overall feeling of tiredness or sluggishness.

Weakened Immune System: Depression forms such as SAD changes the regulation of neurotransmitters such as seratonin, or the release of stress hormones such as cortisol which weaken the body’s immunity to infections.

Reduced Libido: When a person is feeling pessimistic and tired, the last thing he or she wants to think about is s*x.

Lack of Concentration: SAD’s effect on mental functioning can hinder a person’s ability to stay on task.

Overeating or Weight Gain: Craving for carbs as comfort food are common during episodes of SAD.

Increased Alcohol Use: The use of alcohol to “medicate” the neurochemical changes during and episode of SAD can provide a false sense of feeling “ok”.

Feeling Guilt or Worry: Panic attacks or feelings of failure are common during episodes of SAD, triggering feelings of guilt or shame.

Interrupted or Poor Sleep Patterns: SAD may be accompanied by a disruption in body regulatory systems and biochemical factors such as melatonin. In addition, the poor quality of sleep and negative mood patterns creates a vicious cycle of stress/no sleep, no sleep/stress.

Irritability: The malfunctioning of the body’s regulatory systems, including hormones, neurotransmitters, and other messenger chemicals can affect one’s ability to cope with everyday levels of stress.

Social Withdrawal: Low mood and feelings of sadness directly affect a person’s motivation to interact socially.

Reflexology, also known as zone therapy, is an alternative medicine involving application of pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion.
Reflexology is sometimes combined with other hands-on therapies and may be offered by chiropractors and physical therapists, among others. Several studies indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as stress and anxiety, and enhance relaxation and sleep.
How long does a session take? A full session means working all areas of both feet. This can vary from 45-60 minutes depending on the wellness level of client.

It is still a popular form of complementary therapy for people with cancer. Some studies have looked at using it to help with symptoms such as pain, sickness and anxiety.
