The cold, gray days of winter can have a direct effect on our mental health, so this week, host Paula Felps sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Michele Leno to learn more about how we can make the next few weeks a little brighter — regardless of what’s going on outside our window. Michele offers insight into how seasonal changes affect our brains and what we can do for ourselves and those around us.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What causes physiological changes during winter months and how that affects our brain’s neurotransmitters.
• How these changes may affect children and older adults – and what to look for.
• What changes to look for in yourself and those around you — and when to get help.
