SAD, or seasonal affective disorder, affects about half a million people between September and April of each year. This disorder is commonly called “winter depression” and can be quite a difficult disorder to live with.

Most people’s thoughts and feelings fluctuate daily-some days you have good days, some days you have bad days. Self esteem is a more constant variable in your life-it is a value we place upon ourselves and how we see ourselves. Having healthy self esteem is very important and is directly related to our own happiness-if we have low self esteem we tend to be negative and moody.
