Sabah el kheir! In this week's episode, I’m sitting down with psychiatrist Dr. Georges Karam (again!) to talk about why the transition out of summer feels so heavy and how we can better navigate seasonal changes in our mood.Dr. Karam, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology at Saint George Hospital and Associate Dean at Saint George University of Beirut, breaks down the psychological and biological shifts that happen as our routines change and the days get shorter. He explains the difference between the common "fall scaries" and clinical Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), sharing how light, brain chemistry, and sudden lifestyle shifts impact our emotional well-being.We talk about the pressure of getting back into full gear, the 2- to 3-week adjustment period many of us go through, and how parents, students, and professionals experience this seasonal transition differently. Dr. Karam also shares practical, grounded advice on resetting your mindset, managing anxiety, and recognizing when a temporary low mood might require professional support.So, if you’ve been feeling out of rhythm, overwhelmed, or struggling with the fall scaries, this one’s for you.Follow Linda:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lindachristina Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindachristinaa/YouTube: www.youtube.com/@lindachristina Business Inquiries: linda@sabahelkheirpodcast.com or lindachristinabusiness@gmail.comFollow Dr. Georges Karamhttps://www.tiktok.com/@gekaram.mind Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/idraac_ngo/https://www.instagram.com/mind_clinics/ https://www.instagram.com/georges.e.karam/
