Episode #200: Winter Blues or Brain Overload? — Dr. Trish Leigh

Winter Blues or Brain Overload? If you have been feeling heavier, foggier, or slower this winter, you are not broken. Your brain is overloaded. Many people mistake this for depression, but often it is a miswired nervous system struggling to regulate in the dark, cold season. Less sunlight lowers dopamine and serotonin. More isolation weakens emotional rhythm. More screen time overstimulates your reward pathways. Your motivation dips and your mood flattens because your system is strained, not because you are failing. In this episode, I show you how winter hijacks your brain and what you can do to reset it with light, movement, structure, and slow dopamine connection. A Brain Map shows exactly which pattern your brain is stuck in so you know what to correct, and you can learn more at drtrishleigh.com . You do not have to push through winter in survival mode. You can regulate your system and feel better again. Send us Fan Mail Support the show Hi. I am Dr. Trish Leigh, a Cognitive Neuroscientist, and Sex Addiction Recovery Coach.
