Seasonal Depressive Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that is initiated by the change in seasons. Michael is a father, teacher, author, and composer and he struggles with SAD during the winter season. Through the years, he learned to prepare for the inevitable difficulties that come each year and now is proactive in preventing the disorder from derailing his life every winter.

Mental Illness and Michael: Seasonal Affective Disorder

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Panic Disorder. When I started publicly sharing my experiences, I learned that it helped people identify their own struggles and gave them courage to seek help. My goal with this series is to give people hope through the stories of others and help them realize they are not alone. You are not weird or broken, and your mental illness does not have to define you. Let’s eliminate the stigma surrounding the mental health conversation by sharing our experiences and learning ways to heal.
