Seasonal Depression

Seasonal Depression in Humble, TX

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), commonly known as seasonal depression or winter blues, is a type of depression that occurs at specific times of the year, most often in the fall and winter months. As daylight decreases, many people experience changes in mood, energy levels, and motivation. Symptoms of SAD can include persistent sadness, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep patterns, withdrawal from social activities, weight gain, and headaches. While these changes are difficult, professional therapy can make them much easier to manage.

How Therapy Can Help

At Burns Counseling Group in Humble/Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth, we offer empathetic and evidence-based care to help clients manage seasonal depression. Through therapy, people can develop coping strategies, build resilience, and improve their overall well-being.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns associated with seasonal depression. By developing different perspectives and practical coping skills, clients can reduce the emotional impact of seasonal changes and regain a sense of control over their mood.
• Person-Centered Therapy: This approach provides a positive and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions at their own pace. Through empathetic guidance, people can gain insight into their feelings, achieve self-acceptance, and build confidence in their ability to manage seasonal depression.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle by getting direct exposure to sunlight, exercising, eating balanced meals, and trying to keep your sleep schedule consistent is also helpful.
