SAD or Just Sad?

May 1, 2019 By admin

Sometimes I’m a slow learner—well, a lot of times. After about 10 years of starting counseling every January and quitting the sessions by the end of April, I figured out something. I was suffering from SAD—seasonal affective disorder.

For about 20% of the U.S. population, shorter daylight leaves them with feelings of sadness and hopelessness and losing interest in activities that they would normally find pleasurable. People with SAD tend to feel the need to sleep more during winter. In one study, published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research, patients at a SAD clinic averaged about 7.5 hours of sleep in the summer, 8.5 hours in the spring and fall, and nearly 10 hours in winter.

And daylight savings time doesn’t help, since darker mornings are particularly difficult for those with SAD.

Of course, sadness may actually come from real life situations, so if your blue spell lasts for a week or less, then don’t worry. But, if you experience symptoms every day for at least two weeks, it’s a sign of depression and if you only feel this way during the fall and winter, it may be a sign of SAD.

The following are some of the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder:

• Irritability: Research suggests that people with SAD are significantly more irritable than healthy individuals.

• Carb cravings: SAD can produce a strong craving for complex carbohydrates.

• Difficult concentrating: SAD has been known to affect a range of mental processes, including concentration, speaking ability, and memory.

• Loss of interest in sex: This is a common symptom among people with SAD and depression alike.

To counteract symptoms, spend plenty of time in the sun. It takes two or three days of bright sunshine to reverse symptoms. Short of taking a Hawaiian vacation or moving to Florida, Arizona or California, there are other ways to get relief. Several brands of light therapy boxes (also referred to as bright light therapy or phototherapy) can be purchased. These lights work by stimulating the brain from light reaching our retinas through our eyes, not from exposure of the light to our skin.

Dee Litten Whited writes from Virginia.

An Ever-Widening Circle

January 7, 2019 By admin

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6. Fathers and mothers should feel that a duty devolves upon them to guide the affections of the youth, that they may be placed upon those who will be suitable companions. They should … so mold the character of the children from their earliest years that they will be pure and noble, and will be attracted to the good and true…

In Memoriam: Ellsworth Wareham, 104, was ‘Blue Zone’ pioneer and cardiologist

December 20, 2018 By admin

Ellsworth Wareham, MD, known at the end of his life as much for his vegan-supported longevity as his distinguished surgical career that included the first open-heart surgeries in many countries, died Saturday, Dec. 15 at the age of 104.
An ebullient and active centenarian, Wareham — a 1942 surgical graduate of Loma Linda University, then known as the College of Medical Evangelists — gained global fame through numerous media outlets in his later years for being the epitome of a “Blue Zone”…

The Creator Incarnate

December 29, 2017 By admin

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16. The incarnation of Christ is the mystery of all mysteries
