As we approach the end of the quarter and the days get shorter, it’s not uncommon to feel the seasonal changes on our mood and energy. Seasonal Affective Disorder or what we call SAD impacts many people, bringing feelings of low energy, difficulty concentrating, and even sadness as sunlight decreases. Fortunately, our campus offers a range of resources to help counteract these challenges and support well-being. Here’s a guide to therapeutic resources around campus designed for you to recharge and stay balanced.
