DESCRIPTION
http://positivetranceformations.com.au/blog/sad-and-hypnotherapy/ SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is not a huge problem on the Gold Coast, but it does happen. SAD is caused by people not getting enough exposure to sunlight, as sunlight stimulates the pineal gland to produce feel-good chemicals. To overcome despondency caused by a spell of gloomy weather, get outside more to chill out and to exercise, increase your exposure to natural light and eat more oily fish.

Problems with anxiety and excess worry are often triggers that eventually lead to problems with depression, as well as being psychological disorders in their own right.
Often, there is a large mental component to clinical depression – feelings of being overwhelmed, feelings that you can’t cope and other feelings along those lines all play their part.
Long-term stress and burnout also are factors that can be triggers.
All of these physical factors are things that people often address using hypnotherapy, as this is one way of getting deep into the psyche to explore and deal with underlying issues.
These underlying issues are often what lie behind problems with anxiety, depression, panic attacks and the like.
There can also be a physical side to depression and its cronies.
Sometimes, long-term illness can result in this sort of mental problem, although it could be argued which is the cause and which is the effect.
Sometimes, problems in brain chemistry are to blame.
And sometimes, the problem is SAD.
Thanks to the climate we have here in Queenlsand, SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) shouldn’t be a problem, as this is usually caused by a lack of exposure to natural sunlight.
Although people who have lived here for a while are less likely to suffer from SAD, if you are a traveller into this area or if you usually live here and go elsewhere for business reasons, you may encounter problems with it.
Even if you live here year round, SAD may become a problem if you spend most of your time indoors under artificial lights and/or are on night shift for a lot of the time.
Now, SAD is a purely physical phenomenon. While it is in your mind, all right, it is all to do with your brain chemicals and your hormones (no, not your sex hormones – some of the other ones!).
Your pineal gland is sensitive to the amount of bright sunlight you are exposed to, and this gland is responsible for releasing melatonin into your system – one of the feel-good hormones.
If your pineal gland doesn’t get enough sunlight, it doesn’t produce enough of what it needs to in orderto feel good.
So what you always had a hunch was true actually is true: dull gloomy weather really does make you feel dull and gloomy.
The problem is most pronounced in higher latitudes and especially in Scandinavian countries, where SAD can look like actual full-on clinical depression – in many ways, it is full-on clinical depression – but it clears up almost like magic once the darker days of winter are over.
Good thing this problem can now be addressed using Hypnotherapy for Depression or Hypnotherapy for SAD
