The gray hues of winter can cause people to suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder), which is more than just a case of the winter blues.
“This is a very real condition, and the seriousness to sufferers is undeniable,” said Hannah Stokes, assistant professor of psychology at Ohio Northern University.
“This is a specifier for major depression disorders, and the farther a person lives from the equator, the more likely is the occurrence of SAD.”
