 A charity has warned that people who work in dark conditions, such as winter months, are at risk of developing serious mental health problems. The charity's survey found that one million British adults experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) each year, with symptoms including depression, anxiety, and lethargy. The charity is urging employers to take steps to support employees' mental wellbeing during the winter months.
