| SEASONAL DISORDERS an IN THE FALL OF THE YEAR docu-project by ELVERT BARNES _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
| Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs at the same time every year. If you're like most people with seasonal affective disorder, your symptoms start in the fall and may continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. Less often, seasonal affective disorder causes depression in the spring or early summer. This project is not about that. As I do not suffer from SAD nor depression. In fact, while spring and fall are my favorite times of the year I actually enjoy and appreciate all four seasons of the year. And my preference for summer over winter has more to do with the physical affects that cold weather has on my body as opposed to my mind or spirit. |
