CAMDEN — Quarry Hill’s Awareness Series presents “Seasonal Affective Disorder…It’s a Real Thing” an educational event to be led by Christian MacFee, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, MaineHealth Behavioral Health, on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 11 a.m., at the Anderson Inn.

MacFee leads a discussion that not only raises awareness of the reality of this disorder by describing the symptoms and diagnosis, but also outlines that the predictable, repetitive nature of the syndrome makes it possible to discuss preventative treatment options.

Part of Quarry Hill’s ongoing enrichment series designed for adults aged 50 and better, the program is free, but advance registration is required. To sign up, please call Quarry Hill at 301-6116 or email qhinfo@mainehealth.org.
