Positive Options for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Self-Help and Treatment
By Fiona Marshall, Peter Cheevers
English Publishers Group Canada
Do you feel depressed or lethargic, and sleep or eat more during the winter? Does the thought of cloudy weather give you the blues? If so, you may be one of the many people who suffer from seasonal affective disorder, or SAD.

Positive Options for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is an easy-to-read book that outlines the cause, symptoms and treatment of SAD.

It includes information on
• the role of serotonin and other neurochemicals in mood swings;
• how diet, nutrition and exercise can help or hinder the effects;
• how to cope with SAD without medication;
• how to distinguish between SAD and other similar illnesses, such as depression or fatigue.

Clearly written, with helpful tips, this book is a great resource for anyone who has ever had to struggle — or are still coping — with SAD. — Melissa Lim
