EP 3 - SAD vs. Winter Blues

In this episode, CU Busy Brains dives into the often-blurred line between Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and the more common winter blues. While many students feel a dip in mood as the days grow shorter, SAD is a clinically recognized condition that can significantly disrupt daily life. Join us as we explore the symptoms, causes, and science behind both, and help listeners understand when a seasonal slump might be something more. With insights and practical tips, we break down how to recognize the signs, and how to support yourself—or someone you care about—through the darker months.
