Summertime Sadness: Seasonal Depression in Warmer Weather with Jackie Adams

Did you know Seasonal Affective Disorder isn't limited to the winter months? Our good friend and resident mental health expert Jackie Adams returns this week to shed some light on why seasonal depression can sometimes rear its ugly head as the weather warms up. From longer days leading to less sleep, to the pressure of getting your "beach bod" ready (and the self-esteem trouble that comes from not having one), Jackie dives into all of the various factors that might lead to stress, anxiety and depression in the summer. But of course, those factors only tell part of the story - which is why we also discuss the impact of social media and the draining effect of the 24-hour news cycle on our mental health. If you'd like to get in contact with Jackie for therapy or advice, you can send her an email at [email protected], or visit jackieadamscounseling.com for more information.
