of rain overnight. really gusty winds. this image was all gray with the winds blowing just a few hours ago. and now look at that. what is this a little bit of blue sky? not bad. even the rain and the wind cooperating. so there's still a flood of were alert because of the rivers and streams in the north bay have been so swollen with all of the storms that have passed through all that rainfall and then the overnight rainfall that fell just added to it and cause some rivers to go over. so when you have a flood warning, that means that the flooding is imminent are actually happening actually happening and colgan creek near sebastopol. and you've got many areas around santa rosa, including windsor and forced lingering feeling great and so best to pull these areas are under the flood warning. so if you're driving anywhere near these rivers and creeks, be careful to could be some flooding. if you're driving in low-lying areas, areas of poor drainage, that is a concern. so definitely keep your eye out as you as you go this morning is set to

high-pressure and that brings dry conditions. cool. overnight lows and plenty of sunshine as we head toward the end of this year. can't think that. >> well, your health this morning, the most the time of the year can also be a very difficult one. well, dealing with stress are preparing for the perfect family. get together all the shop and you gotta do or just being alone. jon travel, i would talk to doctor is white with some guidance on your mental health. take a listen. >> dr. i'm so glad that we're talking about this because oftentimes we really just talk about, you know, the excitement of the holiday season. but this time of year can be really tough for so many of us. >> good morning rain and john. hope you had a good christmas. yes. stare. happy holidays to all of you celebrating hanukkah, christmas and kwanzaa and all the things. thank you so much, doctor. so can you tell us, let's start with what seasonal depression is. yes. so it's also called seasonal affective disorder. and it's a type of depression that's characterized by what

we call a recurrent seasonal pattern means that say some people actually getting in the summer, but they are way less usual. most commonly people experience it in the winner. and it's usually associated with less light. so there's not a good assessment of exactly what causes they were still studying this. you know, it's the brain. so still learning more about it. but we know that it has to do with the night and how some people process light. and so for most people, a happens in the winner. interestingly, more women experience it than men. and so, yeah, it's it's associated with depression like symptoms, dr, white. would you say that especially as we move into the holidays, this can really trigger a lot of people, seasonal depression, that stress and that that pressure to, you know, show up. >> yes, and so stress is definitely a triggered stress is a trigger for pretty much every mental health disorder and for a lot of physical illnesses as well. but also the weather changes the cold. that blue minutes. >> i remember for me when i

moved to seattle, i didn't drink coffee before that. even though i'm from jamaica where the best coffees on stat, rain and grain, us. just how do you feel? he had me feeling sleepy. and so the stress is definitely there. you know, the pressures, the financial concerns out of that, the cold, gloomy weather. so we're not going outside and getting as much sun as we normally would. and also for some people reduced physical activity. if you're like me, you're most people are less physically active in the winner because, you know, going outside is putting on the coat boots and a scarf and all of that. but because of the reduced pace, connectivity to stress some social isolation as well. because, again, we're not interacting with people as we normally would, because we're not going outside as much so social isolation can also be a risk outlook. so common signs that you might be experiencing this. so like regular depression, people often feel like a sadness or, you know, moved. they also feel less interest or pleasure in activities that you once

enjoyed. so, you know, if you used to hang out or go to dance class or whatever, and it feels more of a slog to get there changes in appetite or weight. so some people either eat more. some people eat less. and of course, the weight response to that not being able to sleep as well. so some people just feel sleepy all the time. so sleeping all the time were sleeping too little. also fatigue or low energy levels. so everything just feels like it's just hard to do. the last 2 are about concentration or focus. so depression often has us feeling like it's hard to concentrate on something part, to focus on what we're trying to do as well as some people feel worthless or hopeless in terms of feeling about themselves. they'll feel like, you know. the world is on me. it's hard to get through and some people can feel need for self-harm or desire to in some way. but that's usually in the

extreme, you knor white. one of the reasons i'm so glad we're talking about this is i feel like people can really feel like they're just going through this all by themselves and realizing that this is just generally a hard time of year for a lot of people, whether you're spending the holiday alone, whether it's seasonal depression. >> whether it's family pressures, what's your advice to someone who just needs to take care of themselves this holiday season? >> yes, and i do want to re sure everybody that millions of people experience experience that so you're not alone. and if you experience the symptoms for more than 2 weeks, it's important to seek help because dot its the two-week mark in which we start to think that this might be a clinical condition. so how can you take care of yourself, want to stay connected again? just spend time with loved ones. even virtually. all right. so do it by tax facetime. i video get sunlight. this is so so important because a lot of the

depression in thwinner is leading to that lack of sunlight. so we often suggest that people get some light on their face in the morning and that actually helps with sleep. so if you don't want to go outside, have your morning coffee by a window so that the sunshine is on your face. set boundaries. you can say no to invites. you don't have to go to everything. at the same time. don't isolate yourself. so find a healthy balance of that. not feeling so much pressure to do everything while at the same time. not isolating yourself, exercise and eat well now. yes, it's the holiday season. so yesterday, like everybody else, you know, i had carb coma at some point because eating. a lot, which is not necessarily always eating well, but make sure you get a lot of fruits and vegetables, get some physical activity. and even if you don't want to go outside of the lie still. so just going outside and getting sunshine and air on your face moved during the commercials, a city. if you're watching football during the holidays during the breaks, get up to some movement

stretch. do something that makes your body move. and then whatever it is that you like to do for relaxation or mindfulness or any activity. that brings you, joy, whether it's crafting you know, your crow say or you like to create things doing would work. what ever thought is that brings you? >> joy, do as much of that as possible, but also carve out some time to just relax. you can't do nothing. a lot of people find it hard to do not think takes to 3 days on a vacation to actually relax a practice because that relaxation is really important. lastly, keep her routine. so, you know, during the holidays, we often sleep and we go to bed later and that this regulates our body. so try and maintain some stability in your routine during chaotic season. and the other thing take vitamin d so biden mean the is and that's linked to the sunshine that i talked about out. that's a way

to end the some of the symptoms. in fact, if you live in places like seattle, public health will often tell people branson, especially because we don't absorb the sun in the same way to take vitamin d supplements. but again. you know, consult or health provider to know how much to take or if this is something you should take for yourselr. doctor was white with those amazing tips there. thank you for joining thank you so much, doctor white. and you people thank you so much. if you or someone you know, is struggling with mental health. >> always call at 9 a suicide
