Definition: A disorder characterized by repeated episodes of depression as described for depressive episode (F32.-), without any history of independent episodes of mood elevation and increased energy (mania). There may, however, be brief episodes of mild mood elevation and overactivity (hypomania) immediately after a depressive episode, sometimes precipitated by antidepressant treatment. The more severe forms of recurrent depressive disorder (F33.2 and F33.3) have much in common with earlier concepts such as manic-depressive depression, melancholia, vital depression and endogenous depression. The first episode may occur at any age from childhood to old age, the onset may be either acute or insidious, and the duration varies from a few weeks ...[+++] to many months. The risk that a patient with recurrent depressive disorder will have an episode of mania never disappears completely, however many depressive episodes have been experienced. If such an episode does occur, the diagnosis should be changed to bipolar affective disorder (F31.-). | recurrent episodes of:depressive reaction | psychogenic depression | reactive depression | seasonal depressive disorder

The issue of post-partum depression is enhanced in the North by seasonal affective disorder, SAD, and it often goes undiagnosed because in many communities, there are no doctors.

Senator Mercer: It seems to me that if there is a place to study SAD, north of 60 is a good place to do it.

Ms. Innish, it is me and not you, but I did not understand the issue of post-partum depression being enhanced in the North by seasonal affective disorder, meaning the absence of sunlight.

The cost of a light that offsets the effects of SAD is about $200 but for people who are unable to secure enough food, the light is not an option.
