seasonal depression mental health sunlight exposure serotonin levels psychology

Psychologist İrem Kırım has highlighted the impact of seasonal changes on mental health, specifically focusing on seasonal depression. She noted that reduced sunlight exposure during autumn and winter can lead to depressive moods by affecting sleep patterns and serotonin levels.

Common symptoms identified include changes in appetite, weight gain, excessive sleeping, loss of energy, difficulty concentrating, and social withdrawal. Kırım advised that if these symptoms recur during seasonal transitions for at least two years, individuals should seek professional support.

To maintain mental well-being, Kırım recommends maximizing sunlight exposure, maintaining a regular sleep routine, engaging in outdoor physical activities, eating a balanced diet, and staying socially connected. Clinical treatments for managing the condition may include light therapy, psychotherapy, and medication.
