Friends and Family

If one of your family or friends is suffering from SAD there are several things you can do:

Try to accept that they are feeling low - being hostile or teasing them may make them feel worse. Having SAD is similar to any other potentially serious medical condition.
Offer practical help if you can. As soon as you notice signs of lethargy encourage them to start treatment and to stick with it.
Help them to pace themselves and try not to make too many demands on their time.
