Depresión de invierno; TAE
Los síntomas generalmente se intensifican gradualmente a finales del otoño y en los meses de invierno. Los síntomas generalmente son los mismos que con la depresión:
No existe un examen real para el trastorno afectivo estacional. El médico puede hacer un diagnóstico preguntando acerca de los antecedentes de los síntomas.
El médico también puede llevar a cabo un examen físico y exámenes de sangre para descartar otros trastornos que sean similares al trastorno afectivo estacional.
