Winter Blues Survival Guide: A Workbook for Overcoming SAD Workbook Edition

Having the most recent edition of the book, "Winter Blues," by Dr. Rosenthal, I was unsure if I would need this manual or not, as I had in my enthusiasm to learn more, bought them at the same time. I read this book after reading, "Winter Blues," and I really enjoyed it. I received many practical tips, ways to chart and predict the symptoms of SAD, and overall, be prepared to deal with them. Although I am going to be moving to a sunnier location, I am going to enact the plan it entails anyway, just to make sure the symptoms do not creep up unexpectedly. I feel like SAD can creep up very insidiously, until it gets very bad and things have already started slipping away in a person's life. I recommend this book to develop a concrete action plan for treating SAD.

Norman Rosenthal has written about seasonal affective disorder for many years. This workbook is a very thorough compilation of many different approaches to treating SAD. It's written with compassion. The author conveys a message that people can try out different treatments and choose what works best for them. It is a helpful resource for mental health professionals and for those who are dealing with SAD. Easy to read. Not heavy on psychological jargon.

This book has been my saving grace. I was diagnosed with SAD two years ago and didn't quite know how to handle it all. This book is practically a step-by-step guide to dealing with SAD in the best way for you. I love the workbook aspect of it. It makes things much easier to handle if it's out of my head. Thank you, Dr. Rosenthal!

If you are depressed from November to February, there is a chemical reason, plus lack of sunlight. This is a very helpful resource.

Very informative. Great info if you or a loved one suffers from this affliction.
