Some of the prominent symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder are that people find it hard to stay awake for long. For some it becomes difficult to sleep. You also feel fatigued and consequently, you are not able to carry out routine matters in a normal way. Feelings of sadness, guilt and despair are also commonly observed.

Dr. Norman Rosenthal coined the term “Winter Blues”. He came up with this expression while he was researching the effects of winter on people’s moods. The Winter Blues is actually a clinical condition, which is primarily caused by lack of sunlight in winter. According to some doctors, lack of sunlight can cause depression.

What is Ecotherapy?

Ecotherapy is a term used to decribe the benefits of doctors prescribing a ‘Walk in the Park’ as a means of helping people with mental health problems.It is well known that the first and perhaps the major symptoms of stress or mental illness is the breakdown between a person and the people around them. The effect of this can be seen in the home and the work place leading to erratic behaviour, strained relationships and social isolation. There is also an ecological element to this condition, we as humans suffer these problems because we have the ability to think and reason, therefore we may see ourselves as being apart and perhaps superior to the natural world. However, despite this air of superiority we still retain primal animal instincts that manifest themselves when we become mentally ill, are under stress or a perceived threat. Some people advocate that ecotherapy is about mending this rift between people and nature in order to become whole, reconnect with the natural world around us, and put an end to a vicious circle of abuse through direct experience of wild nature. Incorporated within ecotherapy is the awareness of current ecological issues and the sustainability of our life style with regard to the damage it does to planet Earth.
