While many of us love to see fall and the colors or the leaves, some dread this time of year because it brings on Season Affective Disorder. This is a type of depression that is triggered by lack or sunlight.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons — seasonal affective disorder (SAD) begins and ends at about the same times every year. If you're like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. These symptoms often resolve during the spring and summer months. Less often, causes depression in the spring or early summer and resolves during the fall or winter months.
Don't brush off that yearly feeling as simply a case of the "winter blues" or a seasonal funk that you have to tough out on your own. Take steps to keep your mood and motivation steady throughout the year.
In most cases, seasonal affective disorder symptoms appear during late fall or early winter and go away during the sunnier days of spring and summer.

Feeling listless, sad or down most of the day, nearly every day
