Seasonal Affect Disorder plus COVID means for a rough time.  This week on The Couch, I begin our look at Seasonal Affective Disorder (Seasonal Depresssion).  I also take a look at how COVID-19 has wrecked havoc on the mental health of many and what we can work on to help alleviate it.  I look at 5 proven actions we can take to help manage COVID-19 related depression.  Next week, we'll continue our talk on SAD and different ways we can treat it.
