The Winter Blues The Winter BLAHS
Dr. Steve Clemenson, an Internal Medicine physician specializing in non-invasive cardiology, joins the IMA Doctors show.
In this episode: The "winter blahs or blues" are a real thing!
Because, in the winter months, we have low activity, low serotonin, and low vitamin D, it is very common to experience cabin fever or seasonal effective disorder.
Cabin fever can result in excessive sleeping, irritability, restlessness and claustrophobia. And, much like it, seasonal effective disorder can result in fatigue, apathy, withdrawal, weight gain and trouble sleeping.
With many people can experience these conditions temporarily, Dr. Clemenson says sometimes they do require medication.
And, in most cases, medicine can be something as simple as getting out to walk around the mall or trying light therapy.
Listen to the podcast above for more information!
