Two adolescent girls with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) are described. It is suggested that the classic symptom profile seen in adults is not characteristic in younger subjects. Although hypersomnia is prominent, increased appetite and carbohydrate craving are rarely reported. Local meteorological data link the course of the disorder in one case to the hours of sunshine and ambient temperature during the winter months.
本文描述了两名患有季节性情感障碍（SAD）的青春期女孩。研究表明，成年人中常见的典型症状在青少年患者中并不具有代表性。尽管嗜睡症状较为突出，但很少有关于食欲增加和对碳水化合物渴望的报告。当地气象数据显示，其中一名患者的病情发展与冬季的日照时长和环境温度有关。
