As the days grow shorter and the weather turns colder, many people find themselves feeling more tired, withdrawn, or down than usual. For some, these changes go beyond the "winter blues" and develop into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression linked to seasonal changes.

As the vibrant hues of summer fade into the warm, earthy tones of fall, many people find themselves grappling with unexpected shifts in their mood and overall mental well-being.

One powerful yet often under appreciated tool in the fight against depression is exercise.

In reality, recognizing the need for support and taking steps to address one's mental well-being is an undeniable act of strength.
