Seasonal Affective Disorder🌞⛈️❄️

Our mental health isn’t only affected by the cold, dark months. Summer can also impact our mental health for a number of reasons.

For example, we may struggle with the heat and humidity, and the changeability of the weather.

You may feel pressure to dress in a way that makes us feel uncomfortable or act “happy” because it is summer.

You may struggle to sleep in the hot nights and be exhausted in the day.

If you experience symptoms of depression at certain times each year, this is sometimes called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Common symptoms include:

Persistent low mood

Anxiety

Sleep problems

Difficulties concentrating

Increased irritability

Loss of interest or enjoyment in things.

Here are some simple tips to help you cope in the summer:

Drink lots of water so you stay hydrated.

Keep cool by finding shade or wearing loose clothing.

Visit cool indoor places like your local library or cinema.

Keep a diary of your symptoms to help spot the patterns of SAD.

If you’re struggling with your symptoms please reach out to your GP. You can also call our infoline or look at our website for more information on SAD.

People with a learning disability, autism, and ADHD might not notice when they are getting too hot or need a break.

They might not know they are overheating until they feel unwell.

We have made an easy read to help you stay safe and comfortable in the heat. It has ways to stay cool, how to protect yourself from the sun and other helpful tips for hot weather.

Please take a look and share with others who might find it useful. Please also check in on people who may need extra support during the hot weather.

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY!

DAISY: Support for parent carers of children with a learning disability or developmental delay.

About the DAISY Study:
Researchers are exploring whether a digital parent support program called Stepping Stones Online can help behaviours that challenge in children with a learning disability or developmental delay. This study is called The Digital Family Support study - DAISY.

Stepping Stones Online is an online program for parent carers of a child with a learning disability. It covers:
• Learning strategies to make everyday life easier
• Supporting communication and everyday skills for children
• Positive ways to support behaviours that challenge
• Building your confidence in parenting
Who Can Take Part?
We are looking for parent carers who:
• Live in England
• Have a child aged 2–11 years with a learning disability or developmental delay

What Participation Involves:
Once parent carers complete the screening process and are eligible for the study, they’ll be asked to provide consent to take part. Parent carers will then be asked to complete a set of questionnaires about themselves and their family. This information is kept securely on a protected database which only members of the research management team can access.

Parent carers will then be randomly put into one of two groups. Half of study participants will be given access to Stepping Stones Online, and the other half will continue with the support they usually receive. This will help the research team measure the effectiveness of Stepping Stones Online. After the study, participants who did not access Stepping Stones Online will be offered access.

If you have any questions or would like to find out more, please do not hesitate to get in touch by emailing: [email protected]. Alternatively, you can contact Dr Emma Scripps on 07483123993 or Rovan Bahnassy on 07483656342.
