Why do some of us feel low just as the world is waking up again? What happens when everyone seems to be blooming, but you’re still stuck in a fog? While seasonal mental health struggles are often associated with winter, shifts in mood, energy, and motivation can also happen in the spring. Let's have a smart, supportive discussion led by Lily, a practicing psychotherapist, and let's explore how changing seasons — even the brighter ones — can impact our well-being. We’ll take a closer look at Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), including how it can show up differently from person to person, and why spring isn’t always as uplifting as we expect it to be._x000D_

We’ll also dive into practical treatments and preventative tools: from light exposure and routine changes to emotional self-checks and mental reset habits. Whether you’re looking for insight into your own seasonal patterns or simply want to understand the connection between nature’s cycles and our mental health, this is a chance to learn, reflect, and share. Let’s talk about how to care for ourselves — and each other — through every season._x000D_
