Seasonal Affective Disorder can be SAD. Also known as Seasonal Depression, SAD is a condition where we tend to feel depressed and fatigued in certain times of the year. Over three million Americans have SAD. I will try to shed light on SAD and offer up some details regarding SAD. I did a little foreshadowing on the previous sentence because one such method in treating SAD involves light. Anyhow, I hope I can provide some quality information here.

Let's look at Seasonal Affective Disorder, also called Seasonal Depression.
If you have Seasonal Affective Disorder, then you commonly and routinely experience depression and fatigue at certain times of the year. One of the most common times of the year for SAD in most Americans is usually during the Fall/Autumn and Winter months. Most of this is due to the stress of the Holiday season with Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, you may feel mentally normal the rest of the year, but you may always feel down during certain parts of the year. SAD tends to affect more females than males. Among five people, one male would have SAD while four females would have SAD.
NOTE: The following information in this paragraph is courtesy of Mayo Clinic. Seasonal Affective Disorder affects individuals usually at age 14 and older. It is very common to suffer from SAD. Those who suffer from SAD usually have depression issues like lack of sleep, appetite issues, and mood swings among others. Treatment can include exercise, light therapy, and even some medication for more serious cases. If anything, SAD does not require any serious treatment (such as blood tests or surgery).
My Own Insight.
As much as I love cold weather, I sometimes tend to feel not as productive in gloomy, cold weather. However, I do not feel unable to stay happy and active during cold weather times. It helps to have some light around you and that you are able to produce even when you are feeling down. Not having as much light can make you feel less productive when you have SAD. So if I could recommend some advice, I would probably try to open blinds or windows to let light in (unless it is gloomy or dark), and simply try to think positively. You aren't going to be as productive when you continually feel grumpy and tired.If you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, be sure to meet with healthcare providers to help treat your SAD. You may have to take in certain therapy techniques and maybe even take some medicine to curb your depression with SAD.
