I have mentioned before but in case you're new here, I am one of the 1-6% of the population who has Summer - or Reverse - Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Yes, it's a real thing and I want to tell you about what it is and, more importantly, what it is not.
When you think of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), you probably picture someone slinking into depression when the cold winter comes along and the clocks get set back, enveloping them in darkness before dinnertime. The lack of sunlight and the cold temperatures sends them spiraling into despair, counting the days until the clocks are set back giving them more time for their idol, the sun, to shine down upon them again until late in the warm summer evenings.
Summer/Reverse SAD is, obviously, the complete opposite of that, although we do share many of the same symptoms such as apathy or loss of interest, fatigue, insomnia, appetite changes, irritability, lack of concentration, depression, low energy, etc.
Those of us who have Summer/Reverse SAD dread the onslaught of our enemy, The Sun, and its cohorts, Heat and Humidity.
