Episode Description


If the winter months leave you feeling pretty low then maybe you’re suffering with something that around 2 million others in the UK are going through too. It’s called Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. It’s a kind of depression linked to the change in seasons, and is thought to be caused by a lack of sunlight. 


So how do you know if you have it, and what can you actually do about it, seeing as you can’t change the weather?


I’m Mary, and that’s what I’m exploring in this week's episode of Noted.


I’ll be speaking to Dr. Norman Rosenthal - the man that coined the term Seasonal Affective Disorder back in 1984 - about what it is and how to spot it.


I’ll also hear from 22 year old Libbigail Evans who was diagnosed with SAD, and get loads of advice from TikToker Jodie Rogers and The North Face explorer Ben Ankobiah about how they try and lift their moods at this time of year.


And I wanna hear from you on this, do you have SAD? Even if you haven’t been diagnosed, but experience some of the symptoms of it, get in touch. The WhatsApp number is +447723735241.


This is an original podcast production from The News Movement and Persephonica

Watkins (1839 - 1901) LibriVox Samuel “Sam” Rush Watkins (June 26, 1839 – July 20, 1901) was a noted Confederate soldier during the American Civil War. He is known today for his memoir Company Aytch: Or, a Side Show of the Big Show, often heralded as one of the best primary sources about the common soldier's Civil War experience....Sam’s writing style is quite engaging and skillfully captures the pride, misery, glory, and horror experienced by the common foot soldier. Watkins is often featured and quoted in Ken Burns’ 1990 documentary titled The Civil War. (Introduction from Wikipedia)
