Seasonal Affective Disorder is also known as Seasonal Depression. In most parts of the world, most people experience their years through different seasons - spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Many chronic illnesses have varied symptoms throughout the seasons, and SAD is actually a symptom of many of these illnesses.

Medical gaslighting is a form of manipulation that makes an individual question their very sanity, and it’s been a problem for a long time. It has been mentioned every time I’ve coached someone, and I’ve actually been present when it happened to my partner in regard to her four illnesses. It’s something that needs greater focus, and whilst it is a minority of the medical community that does this, it still needs to be dealt with.
