Trastorno afectivo estacional
El trastorno afectivo estacional (TAE) es un tipo de depresión que se produce cuando se desarrollan síntomas de depresión sólo durante los meses más oscuros del invierno cada año. Estos síntomas mejoran en primavera. La tristeza invernal o TAE subsindrómico (TAE-S) es una forma menos grave de este trastorno.

Help for depression
There are many ways in which depression can be treated - from talking therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy or counselling, to medicines such as SSRIs (antidepressants) which help to increase serotonin in the brain to counter feelings of low-mood.
The important thing is that you seek help and support as soon as possible, which may help your depression from worsening.
Talking about depression
