Robe Trotting | Are People in the Nordics REALLY Going through Seasonal Depression? @RobeTrotting | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Is seasonal Depression in the Nordics Even Real?
#denmark #nordic #seasonaldepression
In this video, I explain all that I learned about seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder after moving to Denmark.
Moving to Denmark during the month of March meant that I was bombarded with tips on how to deal with seasonal affective disorder or SAD - commonly known as seasonal depression. Many Danes warned me about taking vitamin d or trying light therapy for the winter blues. Of course, we also discussed hygge and other methods of keeping your mood positive during the winter months.
Living in the Nordics, according to some research, means having an increased chance of developing seasonal depression. People in the Nordics are used to the dark winter months, but studies show that doesn't always lead to clinical cases of seasonal affective disorder. SAD may not even exist at all! So how come people living in Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, and Finland seem to suffer from seasonal depression or the winter blues?
In this video, I compare research that supports the existence of Seasonal Affective Disorder and research that says it does not exist. I also examine the effect that vitamin D has on the symptoms of SAD/Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Depending on the research, seasonal depression may not exist. People in the northernmost countries like the Nordics may not be at higher risk of developing seasonal depression. Vitamin D may not have much to do with treating depression symptoms.
I look at all the data and tell you my thoughts here. What are your thoughts?
