Seasonal Affective Disorder. It means the lack of sunlight during the "shorter" winter months (and often a lack of Vitamin D in the diet) leads to a type of depression.
it's often treated with a light box, whixh produces the same spectrum of light as the sun, or counseling. |

You're from the cleveland area right? I think I talked to you a couple times before you shipped out. |

We still haven't had the first frost. It's been steadily 50 around here, with a few nicer days htis past week in the upper 60s, low 70s. Slowly turning to winter, as usual. What's the climate like in japan?

You get depressed during winter because your skin receives less sunlight, or at least that's the theory. Your body produces nominal amounts of Vitamin D from sunlight, so thats also been postulated as the cause of SAD.
I wouldn't say it's BS, but it is a good reason to call in sick to work ;) |

| I get it to noticeable levels occasionally throughout winter, my cure: 1000W HPS Light + 400w MH Light = Sunlight... In Stevens Point there are plenty of places to find these... ;) |
