SAD
SAD (seasonal affective disorder) (sad) n. a disorder in which the mood of the affected person changes according to the season of the year. Typically, with the onset of winter, there is depression, general slowing of mind and body, excessive sleeping, and overeating. These symptoms resolve with the coming of spring and are also relieved by phototherapy. There is evidence that mood is related to light, which suppresses the release of the hormone melatonin from the pineal gland, but the exact mechanism by which light acts as an antidepressant is unclear.
