Seasonal Affective Disorder and dizziness

Hi, there...

There is a very real possibility that you could be suffering from some seasonal depression. Something very similar happens to me during the month of January, as well as during the end of summer in August -- obviously two different times of the year. For me, I've found a link between the depressive mood changes and major, somewhat significant events in my life -- the loss of a son, and anniversaries around that loss. It took years for me to make the connection, and I still have trouble remembering that the time can be problematic. I, actually, started setting an alert in my phone to remind me to take a look at how I'm feeling, and start a little self-care.

It can be very difficult to pinpoint the emotional reasons behind physical manifestations. I get the dizziness, as well. Stress and depression can do that. Of course, you want to rule out any possible medical reasons, but for me it has always been a little comforting just knowing that I'm not alone in my symptoms.

I hope you find answers that comfort and reassure you.

All the best,

Shawn
