the sun

[belgareth]

There is a condition known as

seasonally affected disorder that looks a lot like depression caused by lack of sun during the winter. It normally

goes away when the sun comes back in the spring. DrSmellThis can probably tell you a lot more about it.

I can say that I suffer

mildly from this disease. I hate the climate that I live in during the winter N.E. US. It's really a combo of

things IMHO. The obviouse less exposure to sunlight which I love, but there is also less daylight, and more time

spent indoors which affect me negatively as well. I believe it has to do with a lot more than just lack of sun. I

always notice a big change in myself in the spring when the days get longer and I am outdoors more often!!!
