Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) or Seasonal Depression is a mood disorder characterized by depression that occurs at the same time every year (source: Mayo Clinic). In this first mental health awareness installment, Fordham University Social Work Doctoral Candidate Kandra Knowles, Film Producer & Director Cory Hunter, & your Hostess with the Mostest Shanell further break down what S.A.D./seasonal depression is, share their personal experiences with dealing with seasonal depression, & discuss other factors such as demographics & culture. We end the show by giving advice/tips on how to combat S.A.D./seasonal depression, along with mental health hotline providers.

P.S. Vacation somewhere warm during the wintertime, it helps!
