Sunrise today was at 8:11a.m. and the sun will set at 5:08 p.m. These shorter days can contribute to feelings of sadness, exhaustion and depression.
For people who experience Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, less sunlight can be one of the triggers for a type of depression that can include changes in appetite, weight gain and sleeping habits and can be especially hard on kids.
But SAD can be treated, and FYIdaho has resources for parents and their children. Brenda Wilson, the executive director of FYIdaho, joined Idaho Matters to tell us about them.
