How To Naturally Manage SAD
November 1st 2006 01:48
There are some self-help strategies that you can utilize if you suffer from SAD.
The first thing that you can do is lighten up your home by using brighter light bulbs. If possible you should remove your curtains to let natural sunlight in too.
Another thing that you can do is take a vacation in a sunny location such as Florida or California. Even if you cannot take a vacation, you should get outside for an early morning walk between 6 and 8AM.
Try to eat 1 or 2 oz of carbohydrates per day. This includes such things as pasta and cereal. You should also avoid alcohol and caffeine.
You should also maintain a regular sche3dule getting up and going to bed at the same time everyday, even on the weekends.
If none of these things help to alleviate your SAD then you really should seek professional help. SAD can become such a problem that it can lead to suicide. However, this does not have to happen because there are some medications that your doctor can prescribe and from which you can benefit.
