Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Seasonal Affective Disorder is a big topic in the winter here at DS I was just courious about how many are effected by SAD in the summer. I live in MI and the great lakes provide plenty of humidity with the heat.
I find myself staying inside and air-conditioned 95% of the time. It is almost like cabin fever sometimes and depressive too. I have to take a vitamin D suppliment because one of my meds prevents too much exposure to sunlight; but my moods are still really down a lot.
Any one else experience this phenom?

But I can see where SAD can happen during the summer too because of people staying inside due to the heat and not getting that exposure to the sun, makes sense.
Not sure what we can do about it? I know there are light boxes for winter, but what do people who have summer issues do?
