Do you have seasonal depression in your country?

It's not a real thing. Open your blackout drapes and get some sun on your skin for ~15 minutes while you do something and you'll be fine.

But the fact that there are things one can do to prevent and/or alleviate it sort of contradicts your assertion that it “isn’t a real thing,” doesn’t it? Feeling bad as a result of insufficient access to daylight is a widespread and well-documented phenomenon. Daylight stimulates the production of serotonin. For people with poorly regulated serotonin systems, whether they produce abnormally low levels of 5-HT, or have messed up receptors for it, AKA clinically, chemically depressive types, seasonal changes can be a lot worse than for normal people. I know at least two significantly depressed people, one of whom was my advisor in graduate school, who find winters pretty close to disabling. “SAD lamps,” which do a more intensive version of the ‘fifteen minutes with open blinds’ technique you suggest, help. They’ve been a done thing in the Arctic for decades, for both neurotransmitter and vitamin reasons.

I don’t have noticeable seasonal changes, thankfully, but I do have major depressive disorder. I am sporadically severely stricken, for a few weeks to a few months at a time, regardless of the weather. Feeling okay lately.

Holy brown

Its year round unfortunately

>>217659566
I didn't use to but it seems I've started to have. I don't know if it's me that's changed or is it because the winters have become much worse and depressing because of climate change.

>Do you have seasonal depression in your country?
Yes but in the same. I hate the heat, makes me feel as sticky, sleeping is ass, I hate the way the sunlight reflects on surfaces, days are so fucking long and its so hard to be productive and feel good I hate it so fucking much
I wish it was cold and gray all the time
