Answer

hi there, i think you have SAD, seasonal affective disorder. this is a condition caused by having not enough natural light., its very common amp people including myself usually suffer more around late autumnwinter, for obvious reasons. id advise from personal experience to try other things before antidepressants, they can take a while to work amp to come off but can be useful if all else fails. the best thing for SAD is to get a lightbox, if you look online you should be able to get one easily, there are also websites which can give better advise than i can includingbrwww.sada.org.uk.brhope this helps.
