SAD is a disorder that can cause a great deal of distress and impairment. Children with the disorder often miss school, as well as many other important social opportunities like playing with friends and participating in extracurricular activities. It is quite likely that, if untreated, SAD can lead to numerous negative psychosocial outcomes. Luckily, effective treatments for SAD are available, including CBT and SSRI pharmacotherapy. Pediatricians can play an important role in identifying SAD and other anxiety disorders and providing parents with information about appropriate treatments.
季节性情感障碍（SAD）是一种会造成极大痛苦和功能损害的病症。患有该病症的儿童常常缺课，还会错过许多其他重要的社交机会，比如与朋友玩耍和参加课外活动。如果不进行治疗，SAD很可能会导致众多负面的心理社会后果。幸运的是，有针对SAD的有效治疗方法，包括认知行为疗法（CBT）和选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂（SSRI）药物治疗。儿科医生在识别SAD和其他焦虑症以及向家长提供有关适当治疗的信息方面可以发挥重要作用。
