This time of year has gray skies, dropping temps, and icy roads. It is no surprise that many people around the country experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD). SAD is a type of depression that happens in the fall and winter months. Some experts believe that the drop in sunlight exposure triggers a chemical change in the brain. Did you know that symptoms can get worse with age? This data means that seniors are at serious risk. There are many ways to combat this within your community. Our Spring Garden Street team in Greensboro chose to reach out directly with handwritten cards. The Senior Resources of Guilford distributes these cards regularly to senior homes with residents who need a pick-me-up the most. If you are in the Guilford area, check out more of what they do to brighten a senior’s day!
