5 Signs Your SAD Isn't Improving as Spring Arrives

You still crave carbs and sugar If your appetite for comfort foods hasn’t faded by late March, your mood may need more than sunlight.

You still want to hibernate Feeling like staying in bed all day when days are longer suggests depression, not just seasonal adjustment.

Your sleep hasn’t normalized Waking up naturally and sleeping regular hours should return gradually as spring progresses.

Your energy and focus remain low Lack of motivation or trouble concentrating past early spring points to ongoing clinical depression.

You have thoughts of death or self-harm This is never normal for SAD. Seek professional help immediately regardless of the season.
