Health Conditions

A person suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) becomes depressed in reaction to a lack of sunlight in winter. A person who suffers from SAD may start feeling blue in the late fall, and find their mood lifting with the arrival of spring. The incidence of SAD increases with distance from the equator. In the Northern Hemisphere, December, January, and February are the worst months.
