Seasonal Depression Awareness Month

Seasonal Depression Awareness Month

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a mental health condition related to seasonal changes. Since SAD is typically associated with depressive symptoms (such as persistent sadness, hopelessness, and/or an 'empty' feeling), it's commonly called seasonal depression. Shorter days and reduced exposure to sunlight are thought to cause chemical changes that may lead to a higher number of SAD cases during the winter months (as compared to other seasons), with December being Seasonal Depression Awareness Month. 

Changes in environment and circumstances can also contribute to the onset of seasonal depression. For construction workers, this could include seasonal layoffs or increased hazard exposure associated with frigid weather. The holidays can also lead to feelings of isolation or a sense of inadequacy; and peak retail season can bring about additional financial strain.

The Bricklayers' Member Assistance Program (MAP) is here to support members and their loved ones who may be experiencing symptoms of seasonal depression or 'winter blues.' You are not alone, and confidential help can be accessed by contacting BAC MAP at 1-833-MAP-TALK (generally available M-F, 8am-7pm ET). 

If you or someone you know is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911. You may also obtain immediate 24/7 help from the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling 988
