SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER (SAD)

  • BIOPTRON is clinically tested and certified to fight seasonal affective disorders (SAD). SAD is a type of depression that is associated with some seasons, typically starting in the late autumn and early winter.

  • SAD is characterized by a combination of symptoms such as:

    • Chronic fatigue

    • Lowered motivation

    • Anhedonia (inability to feel/perceive happiness)

    • Increased need of sleep

    • Changes in appetite or weight

    • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed

    • Feeling sluggish or agitated

    • Difficulty to be focused and concentrated

    • Social withdrawal

  • The exact cause of SAD is unknown, but researchers have found some biological clues related to a disruption of our circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are metabolic, physical, mental and behavioural changes that follow a daily cycle. One of the most known is the sleep-wake cycle.  Scientists believe that a shortage of light may have a negative effect on our sleep rhythms, because it deregulates the synthesis of key neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and melatonin, as well as the production of Vitamin D.
