Memorable Quotes:
"The stress is real. And it can really pull us down into a negative energy and a dark hole where we can feel isolation. And I want to talk about this today because also many people will, on top of the seasonal stress, will experience Seasonal Affective Disorder, it's abbreviated SAD, seasonal affective disorder. And that means when there's more depression, isolation, loneliness during this time of year, because of really lack of sunlight and vitamin D." [00:02:57] – Dr. Anna Cabeca
