Seasonal Affective Disorder

Here is a list of books to help you heal, smile or even change your outlook on life — during winter or other seasons when life is tough. (Credit: Zen Chung, Pexels.com) While all seasons bring challenges, winter can be especially tough for those who enjoy the sun. Days are shorter, the temperature is colder, and catching the flu is as common as getting stuck in traffic. Don’t get me wrong, there are beautiful qualities about winter. Snow is breathtakingly beautiful as it covers everything in blankets of white. We get to celebrate the holidays and the new year, and rock our cute winter wear — like our black-and-red plaid pajamas — while sipping hot cocoa or tea. But feelings of boredom, loneliness and depression may creep in. About 5% of adults struggle with seasonal affective disorder, also known as winter depression, and it’s more common in women, according to Psychiatry.org. And in the isolation and loneliness, we may be reminded that we still have a lot of healing to do. But have no fear, our booklist is here. I’ve included some of my favorite books to help you heal, smile or even change your outlook on life — during winter or other seasons when life is tough. But remember, spring is only just a few days away, so chin up. We’ll see longer sunny days, tulips and maybe even some of those beautiful monarch butterflies in no time.
