Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Screening Form

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects millions of people each year, with symptoms typically emerging during fall and winter months when daylight hours decrease. This comprehensive SAD screening form helps healthcare providers, mental health professionals, and wellness practitioners identify patients who may be experiencing seasonal depression and determine appropriate treatment pathways.

Our Seasonal Affective Disorder screening template combines validated assessment questions with practical environmental and lifestyle evaluations. The form captures essential information about mood patterns, energy levels, sleep disturbances, and behavioral changes that correlate with seasonal shifts. By tracking light exposure habits, vitamin D status, and current symptoms, practitioners can develop evidence-based treatment plans that may include light therapy, vitamin supplementation, or additional mental health support.

Built with Paperform, this template features intelligent conditional logic that adapts questions based on initial responses, creating a streamlined experience for patients while gathering comprehensive data for clinicians. Healthcare providers can customize the form to match their practice branding, embed it directly into patient portals, or send it as a pre-appointment screener to optimize consultation time.

The form automatically calculates risk scores and generates personalized recommendations, helping practitioners quickly identify patients who would benefit from light therapy or further psychiatric evaluation. Integration with popular healthcare platforms through Stepper means screening results can automatically populate EMR systems, trigger follow-up appointment scheduling, or route high-risk patients to appropriate care pathways—all without manual data entry.

For mental health practices, integrative medicine clinics, primary care offices, and telehealth providers, this SAD screening form transforms a complex diagnostic process into a patient-friendly digital experience while maintaining the clinical rigor necessary for quality care.
