Seasonal Affective Disorder is a mood disorder that occurs at certain times of the year.
When you wake up in the morning and it is grey out, it affects our mood.
Aoife McGrath is a psychotherapist working in Portlaoise, and says when the sun peeks out and the sky is blue everything lifts and everyone is in better form.
Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression related to changes in seasons, often triggered by reduced sunlight.
Ms McGrath says that SAD can affect anyone at anytime:
