S.A.D does not stand for social anxiety disorder. It is seasonal affective disorder. THat is where you have depression from not getting enough sunlight during the winter months.

Answer 2

I've heard of S.A.D. as a Seasonal Affective Disorder-it is something that happens to some people who get depressed during the winter. For more information on this, WebMD has more details.

Answer 3

Well SAD stands for Seasonal Affectiveness disorder, not social anxiety, which is just referred to as, social anxiety.

Basically, you get uncomfortable in social situations, and in extreme cases, you could have a panic attack. It's a very scary disorder. I have it, and sometimes, it gets so bad I don't even want to go out with friends, I'm just so uneasy in public situations. School is even a problem at times. I just have to breathe, and remember that people have better things to think about, then myself. lol.

Answer 4

i individually get exhilaration from your asking this considered necessary question. After turning out to be president whilst Erap fell of grace by using plunder, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared on 30 Dec 2000 "Di ako kakandidato para Presidente! sa halalang 2004". That become heard national. And, what got here approximately? She became the president of the Philippines in 2004 and until eventually now the Pinoys are suffering under the management of this best Liar. that's how the Pinoys are fooled with the help of their leaders! God bless the Philippines.

Answer 7

Yeah, its common. Talk to your doctor and read a lot about mental disorders. The common thing about any disorder is it is usually a IRRATIONAL fear. I suffer from SAD, but I have to remind myself in social situations that "nobody cares about me". What I mean is when I walk into a group, it is stupid of me to think that I am so important that everyone is going to stop what they are doing and stare at me, or talk about me. If anything most people are worrying about how THEY look, or what THEY are doing.

Answer 8

I've heard of it---I've had it for 37 years,since I left school.
It's a extremely debilitating disorder where a person is uncomfortable in social situations and avoids social contact with others. It is usually brought on by psychological trauma they experienced in their early years.
If left untreated, they retreat further and further into total isolation.

Answer 9

Seasonal
Affective
Disorder

It is when people (like myself) become depressed and tend to 'hibernate' during winter months.

It is linked to depression and it is recommended that sufferers expose themselves (particularly their eyes) to MORNING sunlight for up to half an hour. It is a good idea to take a walk first thing in the morning as exercise helps increase 'feel good' chemicals in the brain too.

Answer 10

I saw something on TV about it. I cant really help you with this one but thank you very much for posting about it I wanted to find out about what it was as well. I think it has similar symptons as depression and OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
