In this qualitative phenomenological study we analyze Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in adolescents. Since the end of 2014 winter, a great number of adolescents diagnosed of Winter Depression were attended in a community mental health center in Madrid (Spain). Another group of adolescents was attended in autumn. Symptoms were always serious. Specially, women deliberately injured themselves with no suicidal purpose. Symptoms non described in SAD appeared: intrusive flood of ruminative thoughts, marked variability in symptoms' intensity during irregular periods and self-injuries. Self-injuries behaved as a distracting purpose in order to interrupt ruminative thought. We call this process Cognitive-Emotional Maelstrom. The chance that this phenomenon could belong to a SAD subtype that concerns hot climate's countries is not ruled out. The approval that SAD may concern to warmer countries could help to diagnosis and treatment.
