4 Winter depression
Winter depression (or seasonal affective
disorder) is sometimes also referred
to as winter blues. This disorder
occurs mostly in the wintertime.
Primary symptoms include:
Sleep disorders:
Extreme fatigue, sleep deprivation,
difficulties falling asleep at night and
phase misalignment of the sleep/wake
cycle.
Eating disorders:
In the wintertime, patients with winter
depression tend to eat extra-high
amounts of carbohydrates (such as
bread or pasta) as well as sugar (for
instance in the form of chocolate), which
may cause them to put on quite some
weight. Weight gains of 10 kilograms
