Did You Know?

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that affects many people during certain seasons, most often fall and winter. It is thought that the shorter days and less sunlight may be the root cause of this disorder.

Light therapy, using a special lamp, is a treatment recommended to alleviate symptoms of SAD. Prince William Public Libraries have SAD lamps available for checkout: click here or search “SAD Lamp“ in the Online Catalog to place a hold on a SAD lamp today.
