SAD Response
Seasonal Affective Disorder is an illness that affects the sufferers mainly in the summer and winter seasons. According to the American Journal of Psychiatry, S.A.D. is believed to be related to light because of the effectiveness of bright light therapy. The ‘SAD’ exhibit on display at the Weisman Art Museum is filled with works of art that were inspired by the depression that comes with the winter and summer months in the northern state of Minnesota.
