How to prevent SAD
If you have been diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder, here are some things you can do to help prevent it from coming back:
- Try to spend some amount of time outside every day, even when it’s very cloudy. The effects of daylight are still beneficial.
- Begin using a light box when fall starts, even before you feel the effects of winter SAD.
- Eat a well-balanced diet, including sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals as recommended by the FDA. This will help you have more energy even though your body is craving starchy and sweet foods.
- Try exercising for 30 minutes a day, three times a week.
- Stay involved with your social circle and regular activities. Social support is extremely important for those with mood disorders, especially during winter months.

A great resource for information about light therapy. The self-assessment tools are particularly useful.
