RHINELANDER, WI (WSAU-WXPR) — Central Wisconsin is getting about eight and a half hours of daylight. That’s about seven hours less than we were getting six months ago.
Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression that’s related to the change in seasons. Symptoms usually start-up in the fall and continue through the winter.
“Some of those symptoms that you may see is an increase in isolation. Feelings of loneliness. Maybe some changes in sleep. We may see some increase in stress and fatigue,” said Heidi Pritzl. Pritzl is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for Ascension Kohler Behavioral Health in Eagle River and Woodruff.
